Want to run Colorado mountains over 3,000m, gasping for breath, with a grin from ear to ear?
Want to cheer for runners as they fight to get through the Leadville 100 miler ultra?
Want to possibly pace one of the runners in the second half of the race? Through the night?
Have you read Born to Run?

If you answered yes to any of these, then you need to join Shane and Richelle in a trip of a lifetime to experience the spectacular Leadville 100 mile ultramarathon.
Shane finished the Leadville 100 miler in 2012 (see his race report here). He wants to share with you the beautiful areas surrounding Leadville, and give you an opportunity to experience the buzz that is the race.
This trip is ideal for those who have dreamt of racing Leadville, and want to know whether its for them. Its ideal for any ultra runner keen to get up in the high peaks of Colorado. And its ideal for any ultrarunner after an adventure, but doesn't want to do the tedious organisation tasks. We take care of that for you!
NOTE: This trip does not include actually racing the event, rather it is simply experiencing all the best bits without the pain!
