Follow along with professional trail runner Reid Burrows as he takes on the Leadville 100. The Leadville 100 is a 100-mile trail race that starts and finishes in Leadville, Colorado. Reid is a Canadian athlete who is currently living and training in Colorado. Formerly a triathlete, Reid now focuses his time and training on trail running.
History of the Leadville race series from the Leadville website:
"Ken Chlouber, a local miner and businessman who was determined to put Leadville back on the map had an idea. He thought that tourism would be the key to Leadville’s revival, and he knew that visitors needed to stay overnight to have an economic impact. In 1983, Chlouber partnered with Merilee Maupin, and founded the Leadville Trail 100 Run, a grueling 100-mile ultramarathon that would take runners through the rugged mountain terrain surrounding the town. If they were going to run 100 miles, they sure would stay overnight! The race was an immediate success, attracting ultrarunners from around the world and bringing much-needed attention to Leadville.
Encouraged by the success of the Leadville Trail 100 Run, the duo went on to found the Leadville Race Series, which now includes a variety of races throughout the year, including the Silver Rush 50, the Leadville Trail Marathon & Heavy Half and the Leadville Stage Race. The Leadville Race Series has become one of the most popular and prestigious endurance race series in the world, attracting thousands of athletes and spectators to Leadville each year."
