Who is bringing Wildflower back?
With all the buzz about Wildflower “coming back”, one of the first questions everyone has is: Who is bringing Wildflower back?
The simple answer is that Wildflower is being brought back by the original, passionate team that has organized it for years. With one of the original co-owners Colleen Bousman back at the helm as Race Director. Of course, her dad Terry Davis, will be at the event too and I’m sure you’ll catch him there at the Swim Start seeing every participant off and praying you all have an amazing event or greeting you as you cross the finish line. Colleen is dedicated to maintaining the event’s tradition of outdoor adventure, community spirit, and athletic challenge, ensuring it remains a beloved experience for participants and their families. Her long history with the event is rooted in her desire to stay true to its unique blend of triathlons, trail runs, and a festival atmosphere.
Along with her loving and supportive family, many of the former Cal Poly student committee members will be returning as part of this year’s organizing committee to make sure that the event is just as amazing as ever. While all of our Cal Poly volunteers may have graduated since the last Wildflower, we are again working with Cal Poly to recruit and build up the Cal Poly volunteer base that has always played such a huge role in making Wildflower happen.
The goal is to continue to develop the event by cultivating the unique atmosphere that has led to such an amazing community that has participated in the event over the years. With a shared passion for health, adventure, and camaraderie, this community has always been a supportive environment where participants of all levels are welcomed.
Whether you are tackling the iconic triathlon or enjoying the festival atmosphere, we hope you’ll join us again to celebrate the return of the Wildflower Experience and see what new and exciting things are to come!
