Life Time Fitness - Leadville Race Series

The race will start and finish at the Rocky Hill Ranch headquarters, and the course will consist of roughly 50% dirt road and 50% fast, single track with a great flow. This 4 loop, 15.5-mile course starts with a fast 7 miles of dirt roads heading to the north end of the ranch, then continues with some of the sweetest single track in Texas. Riders will make their way back to the start, see all their closest friends and family, and then hit the loop again. We’ll have loads of aid station support to fuel your ride and the post race party will knock your socks off.
