The Leadville Trail 100 is one of the most anticipated trail events of the year, drawing more than 750 athletes to Leadville, Colorado, USA on race weekend. Expect cold nights, 10-20°c days on race day. As a Trail Ultra, the Leadville Trail 100 is about far more than the start line — it's a full weekend of shakeout runs, brand activations, expo energy, and a host city that comes alive for the runners who've trained for months to get here.

But planning a race weekend is hard. Between tracking down shakeout runs across Instagram, comparing hotels by walk-time to the start, finding the right pasta dinner, and figuring out how early to leave on race morning, the logistics can overwhelm the experience. That's where Race Week AI comes in.

Race Week AI brings every piece of the Leadville Trail 100 weekend into one place. Discover AI-curated events from brands, run clubs, and local organizers. Compare hotels scored on walk-time to the start line, expo, and finish. Find runner-friendly restaurants for carb-loading, race-morning coffee, and post-race celebrations. Then generate a personalized race morning timeline and build a custom itinerary — all built around your hotel, your goals, and your 100 mi / 161 km on race weekend.
