Without Limits buys Stroke & Stride race

BOULDER – Without Limits Productions recently bought the long-running Boulder Stroke & Stride race series for an undisclosed sum.

The 11-year-old summertime swim-run series has had nationally known athletes such as former Ironman world champion Tim DeBoom and Pearl Izumi-sponsored athlete Cameron Dye, both of Boulder, as participants. The race series is scheduled for 10 weeks starting in June, and features a 1.5-mile swim event and a 5-kilometer run.

The series has grown from about 50 participants per race to about 400, said Lance Panigutti, co-owner and race director of Without Limits, based in Boulder. The company plans to increase participation by spending money to improve various small race details.
