博爾德縣(Boulder)的鮑德爾博爾德(Bolder
Boulder)賽跑
地方性遺產
就像那個關於小火車的故事，只要您認為您做的到，您就一定做的到。只要您能走、跑或轉
輪椅，您就可以參加科羅拉多州博爾德縣(Boulder)所舉辦的「喔！是的，您辦的到」(Oh
Yes You Can)賽跑。
每年的國殤日(Memorial
Day)，科羅拉多州博爾德縣會舉辦鮑德爾博爾德一萬英里路跑。這項賽跑開放給民眾報名參加，其中還包含了輪椅賽及競走賽。此外，它還有一列由海軍單位所組成的行進隊伍，藉以紀念那些陣亡的美國士兵。這是世界上的第四大路跑活動，而且是國殤日時，美國境內對美國退伍軍人表示敬意的最大的活動之一。
因為這場賽跑規模浩大，策劃者需要想出一個能夠容納所有人且仍能進行正式比賽的方法。所以他們想到了一個名為「波浪」的主意；跑者以波浪形狀排列，每一組至多900人，將各組開跑的時間交錯排開。跑得快的跑者則放在第一波形內，而跑得慢的跑者則放在下一個波形內，以此類推；每段波形的開跑時間需間隔1至2秒，而且另有他人負責記錄每場賽事中的跑者的起跑及抵達終點線的時間。如此一來，每個人都可參加路跑，而跑的慢的人也不會擋到跑的快的人；您曾參加過使用波形開跑的賽跑活動嗎？
Just like the story about the little train that could, if you think you can, you can. If you can walk, run or wheel, you can take part in the "Oh Yes You Can" race in Boulder, Colorado.
Every year on Memorial Day, Boulder, Colorado, hosts the Bolder Boulder 10K road race. This race is open to everyone and includes a wheelchair race and a walkers' race. It also includes Marine Corps units who march to honor fallen American soldiers. This is the fourth largest road race in the world and the one of the largest tributes to American veterans in the U.S. on Memorial Day.
Because the race is so big, organizers needed to figure out a way to include everyone and still have an official race. So they came up with the idea of the "wave." Runners are placed in "waves," groups of up to 900 people, with staggered start times. Faster runners are put in the first waves and slower ones are placed in the following waves. A new wave is started every one to two minutes, and the start and finish times for the runners in each race are recorded. This way everyone gets to race without the slower runners getting in the way of faster ones. Have you ever been in a race that had "waves"?
