Increase your chances of capturing that coveted Life Time LT100 MTB belt buckle by attending the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB Training Camp presented by Kenetik.

Across three days, you’ll cover every mile of the legendary course with special attention to the most grueling sections: Powerline, St. Kevins and the iconic Columbine climb. In the evening, you’ll join your experienced buckle-sporting guides for Q&A sessions on proper training, diet, bike setup and crewing logistics.

Camp spots are limited and historically sell quickly, so don’t wait to save your spot for this opportunity to ride with Leadville legends!

This event is held on the San Isabel National Forest under a special use permit.

ON-COURSE NUTRITION

Train with what you’ll use on Race Day! You can find the following products at aid stations for all Leadville Race Series Events:

Neversecond – Energy Gels and High-Carbohydrate Sports Drink

Here’s what you’ll find on course:

C60 High-Carbohydrate Sports Drink – Citrus and Unflavored – A mix of C30 formula to provide a 60 gram offering
C30 Energy Gels – Citrus, Passion Fruit, and Orange
C30+ Energy Gels (caffeinated) – Cola and Berry

There is a lot of mixed information when it comes to eating or drinking in the last hour before competition. Taking in some carbohydrate may help, because it provides extra fuel that may be needed, especially during longer events. However, it can also result in so called rebound hypoglycemia or reactive hypoglycemia with symptoms of weakness, dizziness and nausea. So, it can have positive as well as negative effects? What should we do? This blog will give you the ins and outs.
