COURSE CUTOFFS

You must complete the 50K race in less than eight hours and 30 minutes to qualify for the Leadville Trail 100 run. Our desire is to see everyone finish, and we will support you the best we can. However, if we do need to remove someone for missing the cutoff, the decision of the race official is final.

Racers who are registered for the 50K distance will NOT be allowed to change and compete in the 20mi distance once the race begins. This will be an automatic DQ. If you are registered for the 50K and wish to change to the 20mi, please see the registration crew at packet pickup to switch the day prior to the race. Please know we are unable to provide a refund for the difference in price.

Please note: Due to safety restrictions on the course wheelchair participation is not permitted.

RACE BIBS 

All runners will receive race bibs at packet pickup, and they must be worn and visible at all times on race day. Race bibs attach to your clothing and must not be cut or folded.

50K runners: keep the pull tab from your race plate for the LT100 Run lottery. This is your ticket to enter the drawing, which takes place after the 50K Awards Ceremony at 3:30 p.m. (see the Schedule for more information).

TRASH & RECYCLING

There will be trash bins and recycling containers at all aid stations and at the start/finish line. Please discard any trash in the appropriate container or within 100 yards of an aid station. We will be recycling all plastic and aluminum during each of our events. Intentional littering on the course will be grounds for disqualification. The course travels through areas of exceptional beauty. Help us keep them pristine!

  • There will be one aid station at the start/finish area and no on-course aid stations.
  • This means every 10 miles for the run. Plan to carry all the water and nutrition you need for each lap.
  • Start/finish support includes water, PowerBar and Coke.
  • There will be a dedicated neutral bag drop area at the start/finish aid station. You can place supplies at this location and access them as you pass through to start your next lap. All supplies must be in a bag. Please bring your own bag and keep it tidy.
  • Crew will be allowed to set up and assist their riders/runners at the lake near the start/finish.
  • No crew assistance within the barricaded start/finish area where drop bags are located
  • No crewing is allowed on course, no exceptions.

*IMPORTANT*

Everyone except racers entering Reveille Peak Ranch must have a printed and signed waiver each day. Things are a little, shall we say, “old school” at the Ranch and pen and paper waivers are a must. Please print off your waiver and come prepared with a signed waiver for each day you plan to enter the property. No exceptions.

Note: waivers are required for everyone (minus racers) entering the property – participants, spectators, sponsors, family, including kids (under 18, parent/guardian must sign).
