For the first time in its storied, altitude-fueled history, the Leadville Trail 100 MTB will be broadcast live, and for free. That’s right—Cloud City goes digital with full elite race coverage streaming free on the Life Time Grand Prix YouTube channel and inside the Life Time App, thanks to presenting sponsor Orange Seal.

This is a big one. Arguably the crown jewel of the Life Time Grand Prix series, Leadville is the high-altitude sufferfest that tests the best. And now, for those of us watching from sea level (or just from the comfort of our coffee-sipping couches), we’ll have a front-row seat to all the attacks, mechanicals, and moments of madness that define this iconic 100-mile throwdown.

Free Coverage to Build Stoke

After strong showings at Sea Otter and UNBOUND Gravel, Life Time is stepping up its broadcast game again—bringing pro-level camera work, drone footage, and commentary to one of the most grueling XC races on the calendar. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to chase Keegan Swenson over Columbine or suffer alongside Sofia Gomez Villafañe up Powerline, this is your shot to get in the (virtual) chase group.

This year’s Life Time Grand Prix standings are extremely tight after two gravel-heavy rounds. Now, the series tilts back toward its mountain bike roots, and Leadville is the perfect proving ground.

Current Standings – It’s Tight at the Top

Women’s Leaderboard

  • Tied for 1st: Sofia Gomez Villafañe and Cecily Decker
  • 3rd: Cecile Lejuene
  • Tied for 4th: Hayley Preen, Melisa Rollins (2024 Leadville champ), and Lauren De Crescenzo

Men’s Leaderboard

  • 1st: Keegan Swenson (defending champ)
  • 2nd: Brendan Johnston
  • Tied for 3rd: Matt Beers, Simon Pellaud, and Cameron Jones (2025 UNBOUND winner)

What can happen? Leadville is a different beast—altitude, terrain, pacing, and equipment all play bigger roles. Expect shake-ups, especially from riders who’ve built their seasons around this singular race.
