Leave No Trace | Do Leadville-Twin Lakes Right

The Leadville Race Series will directly hold and mirror the 7 principles already established and in place via the US Forest Service. Learn more here:

Learn how to do Leadville Twin Lakes right

Care for Colorado Leave No Trace Principles

Plan Ahead + Pack Smart

• Know the Course – Study the route, aid stations, portapotty locations, and terrain before race day.
• Pack Light + Right – Bring only what you need (hydration packs, snacks, gear); choose reusable or biodegradable gear.
• No Littering – Be prepared to deposit waste at Zero Waste Stations throughout the course. Intentional littering on the course will be grounds for disqualification. 

Camp with Care

• Know Your Options – From dispersed sites to RV parks, plan and book early. Check if CMC offers event-specific camping.
• Dispersed = Primitive – First-come, first-served camping on public lands. No services provided. Camp 100+ feet from water and follow fire rules.
• Self-Reliance is Key – No bathrooms, no trash service. Pack it in, pack it out. Stop by the Visitor Center for pet waste bags.

 Bathroom Rules

• Use Portapotties – Provided along the course and at aid stations. No exceptions.  LRS is offering expanded portapotty options in 2025 and beyond.
• Backcountry Emergencies – Dig a 6″ hole 200 feet from water. Penalties apply for non-compliance. Carry a WAG bag for TP and hygiene items.

Respect the Land

• Historic Sites Matter – Crews are no longer allowed at the Twin Lakes Forest Service site due to past damage.
• Leave What You Find – Don’t move or take natural or cultural objects.

Fire Safety

• Check Restrictions – Before lighting any campfire, confirm local fire bans.
• Keep it Small + Cold – Never leave fires unattended. Fully extinguish with water until cold to the touch.
• Buy Local Firewood – Available at ACE or Big R in Leadville. Don’t import pests.

Wildlife Awareness

• Bear Smart – Keep food, trash, and scented items in bear-proof containers or locked vehicles.Twin Lakes has issues with trash attracting bears. 

Respect the Locals

• Be Courteous – Don’t block driveways, urinate in private yards, or disrespect residents. Your behavior reflects on the entire race.
