TRUCKEE, Calif. – Life Time, the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand, welcomed more than 900 athletes to Tahoe’s Northstar Resort this weekend for the 15th annual Life Time Tahoe Trail MTB and Trail Run. This year marked a historic milestone with the introduction of trail run events, expanding the event’s legacy beyond mountain biking.
Hosted in the world-class recreation destination of Lake Tahoe, the event drew participants and spectators from 37 states and three countries. Participants ranged in age from 3 to 78, including everyone from kid’s race participants to elite competition including professional cyclists Lachlan Morton and Levi Leipheimer.
New courses this year featured flowing singletrack, mountain roads and thrilling descents through the Northstar Bike Park, all with panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding pine forests. Due to trail conditions and to ensure the best possible race experience, the 100K MTB course was adjusted from three laps to two ahead of race day. The new two lap course amounted to 42.2 miles and over 7,000 feet of elevation gain. Runners faced nearly 4,700 feet of elevation gain over the 50K course. Once athletes crossed the finish line, they celebrated with food, beverages, and live music at the finish festival in the Village at Northstar on both Saturday and Sunday.
“Life Time Tahoe Trail not only offers challenging courses, but also some of the most breathtaking scenery in endurance sports,” said Sarah Stutman, Associate Director of Marketing at Life Time. “This year’s addition of a trail run brought a whole new energy to the event – with both a mountain bike race and a run now included, the event has become a full Leadville Trail 100 qualifier, offering athletes a comprehensive path to one of endurance racing’s most iconic challenges. We’re thrilled to see the community continue to grow in its 15th year.”
Athletes who took on the 100K MTB and the 50K Trail Run have the opportunity to earn one of 35 qualifier coins up for grabs for the mighty Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik and Life Time Leadville Trail 100 Run presented by La Sportiva in Leadville, Colorado.
