Leadville Trail 100 Course Maps

(GPS Links, Maps, and Elevation Profiles)

Welcome to an UNOFFICIAL collection of information about all of the Leadville Trail 100 courses.

Please goto the official Leadville Race Series web site for the most current up to date information.

This data has been gathered throughout the last 3 race seasons using a variety of GPS units and validated using National Geographic's TOPO! program.  The GPS recordings used are loaded on connect.garmin.com and can be accessed directly using links on the individual race pages.

USE CONNECT.GARMIN.COM TO LOAD THE COURSE ROUTES ONTO YOUR GARMIN 705, 800 OR THE LIKE FOR PERFECT ROUTE FINDING EVER TIME.

The distances are deemed to be between 98% and 100% accurate.  The elevation gain and loss is somewhat less accurate, perhaps as low as 95%.   Because GPS data uses many straight lines to approximate a route the distances and elevation totals are universally short.  For example, the consensus after many bicycle measurements by the old MTB100 guard is that the course is a bit over 104 miles (2012 course).  The GPS data here indicates 103.6 miles.

As new data becomes available this site is updated.  Please contact us directly at (mwallace @ nyx.net) or through the Leadville Trail 100 office if you’d like to contribute to the site. Many thanks to those who have already done so.

GENERAL NOTES ON THE MAPS & DATA

Some maps that follow were generated using GPS data imported into National Geographics TOPO! Program. The elevation profiles were generated using either TOPO! or printed from connect.garmin.com.

For several of the out and back courses the maps and elevation profiles represent the route to the turn-around point. If only half of the course is shown the elevation gain and loss numbers can be added together to obtain the total elevation gained for the full course.

All of the data files can be downloaded from actual race recordings loaded onto connect.garmin.com. Follow the “Route Summary” links on the individual race map pages. Please note the 100 Mountain Bike course and the Silver Rush course both have land closures that are ONLY accessible on race day.
