BOULDER WAVE was founded in Boulder, Colorado, USA, in November 1993 to support the efforts of elite athletes coming to Boulder for high-altitude training. As the athletes who hired us performed better and better – Yuko Arimori’s marathon bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and her teammate Hiromi Suzuki’s marathon gold medal at the 1997 Athens World Championships were the breakthroughs – we expanded into athlete representation and management. 31 years later, we continue to provide both training and management support at the very highest levels.
The numbers bear out our success: Since we began business, athletes either supported or represented by Boulder Wave have won 14 medals in the women’s marathon, including six gold medals. Our athletes have also won all six of the races that now comprise the Abbott World Marathon Majors, led by the legendary Edna Kiplagat, who has also been the Abbott World Marathon Majors Series Champion three times. Beyond this success at the global elite level, our athletes have also won most top road races in the world and numerous other marathons around the world. While always keeping to a small roster of athletes to reflect our preference for personal service, the quality has always been high, from 1500m through to the marathon.
From our first day our slogan has been, “In training to be world class,” reflecting our primary goal of bringing athletes to the highest levels of world-class competition.
