Arrived in Leadville, CO yesterday evening after an 11 hour drive from Las Vegas, NV. This morning I went for a 13 mile training run around the Mineral Belt Bike Trail and wanted to post a video for you to see the sights and see some race reports before the big day. Slowly runner's from across the world are arriving in town to get ready for the race on 20-21 August. I met two guys this morning from the UK who are here for their first attempt at finishing the Leadville Trail 100 Ultramarathon. Weather looks to be perfect for the race, current reports are predicting 30% chance of rain on Friday and mostly cloudy Sat-Sun with temps between 72-40 degs. Stay tuned for video's and pictures that only UltraFit can bring you!
