Strava Segment Challenge: Compete for Your Chance to Become a Leadville Legend

For those gunning to qualify for this year’s Leadville Trail 100, we’ve layered on yet another level of competition to motivate you. To be revealed soon, Strava has identified a specific segment within each Leadville qualifying race on which racers can compete. The fastest male and female on the Strava segment leaderboard, (should they complete the race in qualifying time), will earn themselves a coveted spot at the Leadville Trail 100 VIP corral on race day.

In addition to earning major bragging rates and a leg-up at Leadville, each Segment Challenge KOM and QOM will earn a Strava Castelli jersey and a 1 Year Strava Premium membership. To be eligible to win, create a free account on Strava, record and upload your ride data to Strava within 48 hours of the race.
