Life Time Fitness - Leadville Race Series

The 50-mile out-and-back course takes racers through the historic mining district on the east side of Leadville, passing many grand and historic gold and silver mines. It will begin at the Cloud City Ski Hut (located just below Colorado Mountain College on Hwy. 24 on the south end of Leadville). None of the roads used will be closed to vehicle traffic, so please use caution. The courses will be well marked with fluorescent pink-and-black-striped ribbon and chalk arrows.

Course Cut-Offs
There is an 8-hour time limit with a 4-1/2 hour cut-off at halfway point.

Our desire is to see everyone finish, and we’ll support you as best we can to make that happen. However, if we do need to remove someone for missing the cut-off, the decision of the race official is final. Lake County Search and Rescue will be conducting sweep and providing on course medical support.

Aid Stations
There will be 3 well-supplied aid stations. 

Trash and Recycling
There will be trash and recycling containers at all full aid stations and the start/finish line. Please discard any trash in an appropriate container or within 100 yards of the aid station. Intentional littering on the course will be grounds for disqualification. The course – on trails both public and private – travels past many historic sites and through areas of exceptional beauty. Help us keep them pristine.

We will be recycling all plastic and aluminum during these races, and all our events. We’ll take care of this at the aid stations. At the start/finish, please ensure you place trash or recyclable materials in the appropriate containers, which will be well marked.

One slot will be allocated to the top male and female single speed finishers, and one to the top tandem team.
Roll-down – If a competitor chooses not to accept his/her Leadville slots, it will be offered to the best placing finisher in the category, who has not yet received a slot.
Lottery Slots – 50% of the available slots - Names will be randomly drawn from a pool of all finishers under the maximum time cutoff. If the person drawn already has a position or declines, another name will be drawn in his/her place.

Qualifying Slot Winners MUST BE PRESENT, as the “roll-down qualifiers rule” will be in effect at each event. All qualifier slots will be awarded and redeemed on race day. You must pay your entry to the LT100 when you accept your slot. You will have the option to register for the 2012 or 2013 LT100 and must decide when accepting your Qualification Slot. All entries into the LT100 are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Please see Qualification System Rules.

This is a USA Cycling sanctioned race. Their rules apply with minor exceptions. Due to the extreme nature of the race, points are not awarded. Riders may accept replacement parts at aid stations, but must do their own repairs. You must start and finish with the same bike, and you must wear a helmet. Riders are required to check in at each aid station by bib number. Race numbers must be mounted on the bike and must be visible at all times. Race numbers may not be altered.

All racers will be required to sign an additional USA Cycling Release and Waiver. Please print this USA Cycling Release and Waiver, and bring it with you to the race.
