6) Apply your 2022 volunteer hours

The Leadville Race Series simply would not be possible without the tireless work of its hundreds of volunteers. If you volunteered for 10+ hours* in 2022, you can gain preference to the 2023 lottery.

  • More information on volunteering here.

*Please note, while there will not be an increase to hours from the 2022 season, we do anticipate an increase to this standard number of hours in the future.

6) Life Time Member Guaranteed Access

Life Time members who have held a digital or in-club membership for at least 6 months prior to the lottery (6/1/22) are eligible for guaranteed entry into the LT100 MTB & LT100 Run events! Members can begin registering on 12/1/22 and the deadline to claim entry for Life Time members is 12/8/22.

So there you have it, these are the 7 ways to get entry into the Race Across the Sky. We hope to see you lining up at 6th & Harrison next year, and as always, DIG DEEP!
