Charity Entry Program

  • The Leadville Trail 100 Legacy Foundation is once again thrilled to participate in the 2025 Leadville Race Series ‘Charity Entry’ Program. The Legacy Foundation is the original charity partner of the Leadville Race Series. Established in 2002 by Leadville Trail 100 race founders Ken Chlouber and Merilee Maupin, its purpose has always remained the same. Build a better, brighter tomorrow for Leadville.

    The Charity Entry program provides a way for you to guarantee your entry into in the Leadville 100 MTB, Run or other Leadville Race Series qualifier events. You get to bypass the lottery and raise money for the Leadville Trail 100 Legacy Foundation!

    As our major fundraiser, please know that ALL contributions you make to the LT100 Legacy Foundation stay right here in Leadville and support the needs of the local community.

    Our top priority has always been funding educational opportunities for Lake County youth, including our Trail 100 Scholarships. The Legacy Foundation awards a $2,000 scholarship to every Lake County High School graduate looking to pursue any form of higher education! The Legacy Foundation also funds initiatives that build economic prosperity for Leadville, provide greater access to recreation and social services for the community and honor our mining heritage.
