Leadville Trail 100 Course Maps

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

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.

 

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 are universally short.  For example, the consensus after many bicycle measurements by the old MTB100 guard is that the course is within a tenth of 103.5 miles long (2009 course).  The GPS data here indicates 103.3 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

 

The 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 the 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.
