- Leon Griffin: 11% (8-1)
- Justin Daerr: 11% (8-1)

Female Race Participants
Statistically, Rachel Joyce may be the clear favorite, but this does not take into account that IM Boulder will be her first IM after having baby Archie. (Her last IM before was her second place finish at IM Hawaii 2015.) Even with Rachel’s results in her prep 70.3s, Heather Jackson must be considered the “real” favorite for this race.
- Rachel Joyce: 71% (1-1)
- Heather Jackson: 23% (3-1)
- Danielle Mack: 3% (35-1)
- Kelly Williamson: 2% (44-1)
