Life Time Fitness - Leadville Race Series

Back to Leadville Trail 100 Run

Pacers are allowed after the 50-mile point (Winfield Aid Station). You may have as many pacers as you wish, although only one pacer at a time (until mile 99). Pacers may be picked up only at aid stations and approved crew points. Pacing entails patience, tolerance and humor. The primary duties of a pacer include route finding, keeping the runner on pace, ensuring that the runner continues to eat and drink and making sure the runner leaves the aid stations with adequate clothing and supplies to reach the next aid station. Pacers are not allowed to push, pull, carry or tow the runner. Any special pacing situations or requests must be pre-approved by race management.

We strongly suggest you bring someone to crew for you during the race. Your race packet (available at carbo-loading dinner or medical check-in) includes a crew sticker with your race number on it. This must be displayed and readily visible on the crew vehicle at all times. Your crew is your personal responsibility. If your crew disregards parking instructions, race rules, directions or requests from race officials, you (the racer) will be disqualified from the race. Please make certain that your crew is not the one others complain about. We ask that your crew drive slowly and obey all posted warnings. There will be a Lake County Sheriff’s Officer patrolling road sections. Please check in and out of all aid stations before you have your crew take care of your needs. Crew access into aid stations may be limited. If crews are meeting you at aid stations, they should allow adequate time to park and walk to the aid station. It is your responsibility as a runner to make sure that race officials time you in and out of all aid stations. The race packet includes a map and directions showing access roads and crew access points, and crew and pacer rules. Crews should become familiar with the locations of aid stations, available access roads and race rules prior to the start. Crewing is restricted to approved locations, which include Halfpipe Crew Zone and all aid stations except Halfpipe and Hopeless (near Hope Pass).
