How about somewhere to do tempo/tempo intervals? Possibly a flat and soft loop?
Boulder public library
& 29th St Mall is excellent for tempos

Someone has marked a loop of 3K in East Boulder. Starts at 55th heading E on the bike path that runs S of the golf course and under 55th. Goes in a counter clock wise direction and is marked every, I think, 100 meters. At least for a while. Last half mile goes W along the same path that the first half Mile foes E ast on .Saery I jst got puncht in face by Anterfa Thuggggs
So can you only use these tracks when school isn't in session? What time is that...before 8 and after 3...?

Depends. There's locals on the sex offenders registry who are barred from going except early mornings.

One thing I realize in Boulder is that I have to be careful on Thursday nights because of all the bikers cruising the bike paths because of Thursday night cruisers. I was doing my cooldown on a Thurs night one time after a CU Potts Field All comers Meet, and I was almost clobbered by Thurs Night Cruisers obnoxious and drunk bikers with their neon lights on yelling "Happy Thursday!!!!" all over the Boulder Creek Path.
I wonder why Boulder Police don't pull them over and try them for DUI. I swear Boulder Police could fill 10 paddy wagons full of these Thursday Night Cruisers Fvckheads.

There's other things worse than those bicyclers. The path by William's Village has homeless bumbs shooting up, it was in the Daily Camera, the syringes down there, people camping in the trees and pooping in the creek and drinking foul bevrages the whole time. There's people who wanna to way to much to help the bumbs, most are hispters from California/Mass whose dreams of marrying a rich bumb cratered so now they're all addicts and stink to high heaven. I run with Mace.
Baseline Rd is becoming the hood of Boulder. BeauJo's Pizza is leaving for Longmont (Colorado pizza sucks shit anyways and could never get it right), the Whole Foods Baseline is gone since the store manager Murdock (looks like the character from Gorillaz) couldn't get $$$ up for the store, there's a Goodwill, and a Brewing Market. I hope the Amante Coffee stays there but I am not sure. Dark Horse is a dump- never understood why anyone likes to go there- dark creepster environment with terribly unhealthful food choices, and just decent beers. Did the Baseline bike underpass project all of the last year (now completed) put Whole Foods Baseline out of business? It would seem so. Then You got the mortuary next to the old Denny's. After Boulder Police are forced to shoot a CU student dead who is high on LSD, that's where the body is transported pending family notification, along with bodies of the guy who fired a bullet into Boulder Creek last year before being shot 11 times (was high on meth), and the guy who came into the CU Sports Medicine center stairwell with a foot long machete reciting religious verses...Who knows what the old denny's will be? The Sprouts next to willVill isn't bad but it is about 70% will Vill CU students at any given time and only 2-3 registers open at a time so lines to checkout so long. The Meadows at the Parkway is kind of a dump and seems to be treated like a pit stop for the Boulder commuters. What a waste of space that whole parking lot is- What are they thinking????... Yeah I'll come to boulder to get my back cracked at ChiroNow! for $20 instant adjustment, get my nails done at the nail salon, get my taxes done at H&R Block. One positive of that shitbox parking lot hell hole is the Starbucks at Safeway and it looks like McDevitt Taco Supply (the taco truck next to sanitas Brewing) is moving in...Heck maybe I can actually drop off some old running shoes and gear at the Goodwill and get a tax deduction, then go dumpster diving in Martin Acres. I swear I tried to dump my old mattress on the side of the road on Moorhead Ave when I moved houses but cars stopped by me and asked me if I was going to dump it so I couldn't. And No one on Craigslist wanted it for free either so I finally had to call 1-800-JUNk to get rid of it.

No, don't do that. You do that, the bumbs get the shoes (usually thru theft and beating of workers and there pets) and that just means there's easier ways for them to walk around fast to get drunk and high and crazy. I saw a bumb passed out in his own poop down in that neighborhood you talk about by William's Villege. I took his wallet out of his pants and there was a fake ID in there. I was disgusted and kept the wallet and his hoodie. Why do these people come to our own and break laws?
Dumpster diving is an annual tradition in Boulder. Check Martin acres neighborhood in July and August and you'll sometimes find a nice leather couch and maybe a dresser and some artwork. Then go to Resource2000 on Arapahoe for sinks and cabinets and other parts
I run in high school wrote:
You can use most high school tracks before or after school hours.
I'm from the area and Fairview High School has a pretty good track. boulder high school's track is garbage, only 6 lanes and probably 20 years old. Centaurus high school in lafayette has a 1 year old track that's nice. You might have to hop a fence to get into a track but no one will bother you as long as you're just running and it's before/after school
Say what? I hopped a fence at a local HS track on a weekend (Arvada area) and someone called the cops. They told me to leave or I could be cited for trespassing (they said I needed written permission to use the track). I called the school and inquired about written permission. They basically said "no can do" because of liability issues (it's funny that I actually see teachers & staff running on the track after school hours...but I guess that's because they're employed with the district and liability issues aren't a concern).
I think you guys hopping fences of locked school facilities are pushing the envelope. If you get a cop called whose anti-running...it could be citation city. 😕
Hard to find a school track available for public use. Ask any AD of any school district and they don't want you using their athletic facilities. The good ole days are gone!

An inverse correlation exists between the appeal of a public school's track facility and the ease with which the public may access it!
Go to the South or some crappy small city in the Midwest, and chances are good that the local track is always closed to the public after dark! These tracks, as often as not, are asphalt ovals last surfaced in 1996 that have weeds growing up thru the many cracks in most of the lanes! You would not want to do a workout on these tracks in darkness because you might trip in a pothole or over a frost heave and seriously hurt yourself!
The tall locked chain-link fences surrounding these relics are usually protecting nothing more valuable than an assortment of broken hurdles and a high jump mat with most of the foam torn out! There is garbage all over the place! These are Hellscapes that never saw respect, these tracks!
Notice in contrast that most well-off districts in the Northeast and elsewhere not only allow you to run on their tracks at all hours, you can even get on some of them during the school day if they are far enough from the school! I have not been on Fairview High's track in a long time, but in 2014 I went with some people on a Friday morning at 10 a.m. and did a workout! I assume it would have been different has a phys ed class been down there but the school was a couple hundred yards up a berm or something!
I would suggest not limiting your options to Boulder. The surrounding area has better trails and accessible tracks. I would suggest running on the Coal Creek Trail in Lafayette or the Dry Creek Trail in Westminster. If you're stuck in Boulder run on the South Boulder Creek Trail instead of the downtown Boulder Creek Trail.
The Davidson Mesa in Louisville was my go-to when I lived out there. Flat, 5k loop. Good for easy days and tempos.
