Course history

In 2021 the decision was made to remove pacer and crew access from Winfield. This was due to overall impact in Winfield and congestion on Hope Pass. This will remain unchanged and no pacers OR crew will be allowed access to Winfield.

To earn the coveted silver and gold of the Leadville Trail 100 beltbuckle, you must finish the race in under 30 hours for the small buckle and under 25 hours for the big buckle.

All buckle times are based on individual runner chip times, as they have been in years past. See the definition of chip time vs. gun time below.

• 25-hour cutoff time = BIG BUCKLE

• 30-hour cutoff time = SMALL BUCKLE and official finisher

CHIP TIME vs GUN TIME

• Chip Time – your time starts when you cross the timing mat at the start, and ends when you cross the timing mat when you finish – accounting for all elapsed time on the course.
• Gun Time – your time starts when the race starts
• Reminder – Chip time will be used to determine your belt buckle eligibility and there will be no changes to those times. Gun time will be used for course cutoffs.

We recognize crews as a critical component to all of our events. Our courses cover open roads and trails and careful consideration must go into how and where crews and spectators can access their athletes. A conscious plan around this is a foundation of our partnership with the community, USFS, BLM, City of Leadville and Lake County officials to ensure we are providing a safe event experience to everyone involved.

WEATHER

• Leadville temperatures in August vary from daytime highs in the upper 70s to nighttime lows in the upper 20s. Expect sunny mornings and afternoon showers, and be prepared for the Colorado high country’s volatile weather. During the race, it could rain, hail, and even snow. Lightning is hazardous, especially above the timberline. Hypothermia easily occurs with a combination of decreasing temperatures, wind and precipitation. It can result in confusion, and this can be deadly.
• No matter the weather, DO NOT attempt the round trip to Hope Pass without adequate warm and protective clothing. Remember, the summit is over 12,000′.

PACER INFO

Pacers can pick up their runners at any point on course beginning at Twin Lakes inbound at mile 62.

Note: NO CREW ACCESS AT WINFIELD

Each runner will receive 2 pacer bibs at packet pickup. If you require more than 2 pacers, you will have to transfer one pacer bib to the next pacer, or you can pick up a pacer bib at one of the following checkpoints:

• Twin Lakes
• Half Pipe**
• Outward Bound
• Mayqueen

**No vehicle access at this point so you will be required to hike or bike in to obtain pacer bibs and to meet your runner at these locations.

PACERS DO’S

• All pacers must be wearing a bib at all times while on course.
• Pacers are allowed starting at mile 62 – Twin Lakes Aid Station inbound.
• You may have as many pacers as you wish, although only one pacer at a time (until mile 99).
• A pacer must fill out a waiver prior to being on course. The waiver can be filled out at one of the official checkpoints above or you may print one here. The waiver must be turned in at an aid station to receive your pacer bib.
• Pacers may act as burros, to carry food and equipment for their runner.

PACER DONT’S

• Pacers are not allowed to push, pull, carry or tow the runner.
• Any special pacing situations or requests (ie blind athletes) must be pre-approved by race management.
• Do not pace using a vehicle or bicycle.
• Do not take aid from vehicles.
• Do not camp overnight.
