**LEADVILLE PREMIERE**
Join me on the Leadville 100 miles premiere on RU-vid - this Friday August 30, 6:30pm PT. Yup, I'll be taking this one from the airport ahead of our next adventure. Very excited to share this one - Leadville is always a special time of the year for us where we get to see our friends in colorado and push our limits to earn that shiny buckle!
Leadville 100 Miles - Follow me as I run my 12th 100 miles ultra marathon of 2024 - The Race Across the Sky! An historical and challenging race at high altitude in the Colorado Mountains.

Leadville 100 Miles ultramarathon is both a fast and speedy course, but also include some serious trail running going up to 12,500 ft of elevation. This is my 4th attempt, having completed for the Grand Slam (2x) and Leadman. But despite my experience, this is a challenging race that keeps you on your toes all day long. The cut offs are tight, and altitude running is challenging for a sea level dweller. Plus, it's only been 2 weeks since my last race - Angeles Crest 100 Miles (and 2 weeks before the other, ...and so on). 30 hours will be mighty difficult, but I'm up for the task!
The course is a in-and-out 50 miles starting in the historical western town of Leadville colorado, follows a relatively flat trail around Lake Turkoise, goes on the country side up until Twin Lake 40 miles further down. But that's where the fun begins - the notorious climb up Hope Pass...twice!
What's more, we have a bunch of friends racing this year. I'm both excited and nervous for everyone - we're all seasoned runners, but you never know what is waiting for you on these races. And sure enough...we all had challenging day. But then again, we all found it within ourselves to keep pushing past adversity and overcome all challenges of this ultra marathon. Actually would you believe it after watching this movie - I'm actually the one that had the 'smoothest' day of the group!
Next race is Tor Des Geants - 200 miles in the Italian Alps on Sept 8-14. And rigth before this, we're hiking Tour du Mont-Blanc in France, Switzerland and Italy. So stay tuned!
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits! Simon

Do you know if I have to qualify to get into the Leadville 100 (run) or can I simply enter the lottery? Thanks!

As far as I know, there are no qualifications minimum. But getting into it through lottery is very unlikely. And it is highly advisable to have raced a 50 miler or more before trying it. There are - can't recall how they call it exactly - 'qualification races' that are also by Leadville. Things like Leadville Marathon and Silver Rush 50. At these events, either winning a good spot in your age group or through luck, you can get an entry to the 100. Other common way to get in is either through volunteering (not a guarantee, but it increases your odds for next year), fund raising (I don't know the latest amount, but used to be roughly ~$2500 to $3000 - but even those spots are limited so you have to lock your spot with those charity early on like the Leadville Foundation). I think they also give entries if you hire a coach from boundless, or if you sign up for the training camp. But you can always try the plain lottery. For what I know however, very low odds.

@@runningwithsimon Understood. Thank you for the detailed and insightful response. It looks like an amazing opportunity. I live in NC and did not find any qualifiers close so it looks like I’ll try my luck in the lottery. I have a 50M at the end of this month; I can’t wait. Have a great week and thanks again!
