CHARITY SLOTS
Add purpose to your race experience by signing up to ride or run with one of our official Leadville Race Series charity partners. By registering with one of the Leadville Race Series charity partners, you can secure a spot to our sold out events while fundraising for a great cause. Find out more on how it works below.
HOW IT WORKS
Each charity participant is required to fundraise a minimum amount for the charity partner in order to secure your spot. This cost also includes your guaranteed spot in the 2023 event, and your registration and service fees. Charity spots are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The official charity partners determine the fundraising minimum for each race, please reach out to the contacts below for more information.
A Note On Deferrals for Charity Entries:
Should a charity partner athlete want to defer their race entry to the following year, their deferral process will follow the same path of any other athlete registered for the event(s). All Charity Partner athletes that register with a unique code for Leadville Race Series events are subject to the Leadville Race Series LT100 MTB & RUN Deferral Policy.
Life Time Foundation

The Leadville Trail 100 Legacy Foundation
The Leadville Trail 100 Legacy Foundation is the original charity partner of the Leadville Trail 100. It was created by race founders Ken Chlouber & Merilee Maupin to provide athletes a way to give back to Leadville and the community that has supported these events for the past 40 years. Each year funds raised during the Leadville Race Series events are pumped right back into the community. The Legacy Foundation awards a $2,000 scholarship to every Lake County High School graduate looking to further their education and the Legacy Grants program provides funding to local programs and initiatives working to ensure that Leadville is a great place to live, work and raise a family.
For more information, visit their website or reach out to their staff.
