About the Leadville Trail 100 MTB
The Leadville Trail 100 MTB was first held in 1994 and has since become one of the most prestigious mountain bike races in the world.
The 105-mile out-and-back course is in the midst of the Colorado Rockies, known for its stunning views of Leadville’s backcountry. From rocky terrain to wooded forests, wildflower decorated fields to glistening lakes, this course has it all.
The majority of the course takes place on forest service roads and high alpine two track, with a little bit of singletrack to keep you on your toes.
2025: A Record Breaking Year
2025 marked a historic year in our women’s race, with Kate Courtney smashing the 10-year-old Leadville Trail 100 MTB record. The previous record was held by Annika Langvad since 2015.
Since 1983, Leadville has witnessed the evolution of female participants in endurance sports. Every year, more and more women rise up to the challenge and race across the sky, and every year we see more women lifting each other up and building support systems.
Merilee Maupin, cofounder of the Leadville Race Series, takes pride in the number of women that not only shape the races, but the community. “Leadville has a long heritage of strong, determined and successful women. We have a woman Sheriff, a woman Chief of Police, a woman Race Director…Leadville is built by strong women.”
