Running and training in Leadville
Home of the Leadville Trail 100 Run, Leadville is ground zero for high-elevation ultra-sports in the Colorado Rockies.
The CMC Leadville campus has out-the-door access to a beautiful and varied network of running, biking and skiing trails for students to explore. Miles of quiet, maintained paths criss-cross through an old growth pine forest, intersect the paved Mineral Belt Trail and access the extensive Timberline Trail System built and maintained by Leadville’s Cloud City Wheelers bicycling club.
The CMC Leadville Running Club has been active since 2016 stoking student and faculty passion for running and racing. Now, under Coach Darren Brungardt, Colorado Mountain College athletes will compete against two-year colleges of similar size in the Wyoming, Colorado and western Nebraska region.
CMC Leadville will also host races — a sure bucket list destination for mountain trail runners.
