As the shortest race in the Leadville Race Series, the Leadville 10K Run offers runners a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Leadville from a less intimidating distance. Cast against Leadville’s breathtaking mountain backdrop, the 10K crosses the same gravel roads as the infamous LT100 RUN course, covering the first and final 3.1 miles of the Race Across the Sky. Dip your toes in the magic and step into the warm embrace of the Cloud City community — you’ll never look back.

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.
