博尔德县(Boulder)的鲍德尔博尔德(Bolder
Boulder)赛跑
地方性遗产
就像那个关于小火车的故事，只要您认为您做的到，您就一定做的到。只要您能走、跑或转
轮椅，您就可以参加科罗拉多州博尔德县(Boulder)所举办的「喔！是的，您办的到」(Oh
Yes You Can)赛跑。
每年的国殇日(Memorial
Day)，科罗拉多州博尔德县会举办鲍德尔博尔德一万英里路跑。这项赛跑开放给民众报名参加，其中还包含了轮椅赛及竞走赛。此外，它还有一列由海军单位所组成的行进队伍，藉以纪念那些阵亡的美国士兵。这是世界上的第四大路跑活动，而且是国殇日时，美国境内对美国退伍军人表示敬意的最大的活动之一。
因为这场赛跑规模浩大，策划者需要想出一个能够容纳所有人且仍能进行正式比赛的方法。所以他们想到了一个名为「波浪」的主意；跑者以波浪形状排列，每一组至多900人，将各组开跑的时间交错排开。跑得快的跑者则放在第一波形内，而跑得慢的跑者则放在下一个波形内，以此类推；每段波形的开跑时间需间距1至2秒，而且另有他人负责记录每场赛事中的跑者的起跑及抵达终点线的时间。如此一来，每个人都可参加路跑，而跑的慢的人也不会挡到跑的快的人；您曾参加过使用波形开跑的赛跑活动吗？
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"?
