Plan Description

Take on the toughest, grittiest, gnarliest endurance challenge we could throw together: 5 trail running and MTB events, covering 282.4 miles, all at 10,000+ feet of Rocky Mountain elevation. To conquer the Lead Challenge, you’ll need some lead in your veins.

This event isn’t for the faint of heart. It isn’t even for the “average of heart” or “semi-courageous of heart.” This event is only for the toughest of the tough, those endurance athletes who can look at the epic endeavor ahead — completing all 5 of Leadville’s’ most demanding events — and smile.

Boundless Coaching is the official coaching partner of The Leadville Race Series. We have successfully trained hundreds of athletes across the finish line at all events in the series. Our team is comprised of the perfect combination of Experience, Education and Passion.
