Description:

The 2019 Legendary Race Series inaugural season features a look back at the American West. Set in the heart of the Rocky Mountains surrounding the historic Victorian-era silver and goldmining town of Leadville, CO, Cloud City Multi-Stage competitors will traverse 173 miles/278 kilometers in 7 days, starting at an elevation of approximately 10,000 feet/3,048 meters and rising up (and down and up and down and up again) to almost 14,000 feet/4,268 meters to some of the highest elevation in the United States. With the peak of Mount Elbert, highest point in the Rocky Mountains, at one point only a few hundred feet above you, your perserverance and mettle will be put to the test!With the average race elevation about 2 miles/3.2 km high, just walking up a flight of stairs might make you winded. You won’t find stairs on this backcountry course, but you will find large elevation gains and losses, challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and a need to dig deep and push yourself past where you think your limits are. And then do it again for 5 more stages.
