The Life Time Lutsen 99er is a qualifier for the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB.
There are a minimum of 35 LT100 qualifier coins up for grabs at each of the Leadville Race Series qualifier events.
- Qualifier coins will only be given to athletes who finish the longest distance race.
- Coin winners MUST BE PRESENT at the awards ceremony and claim their entry immediately.
- Coin winners must complete and pay for their registration for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB during the designated time offered.
- All registration fees for the LT100 MTB are non-transferable, nonrefundable, and subject to the Leadville Race Series deferral policies.
The 35 coins will be distributed based on overall, age group, and division performance, as well as an event lottery at the end of the awards ceremony.
PERFORMANCE-BASED COIN DISTRIBUTION
The performance based coins will be distributed to the top overall performances, as well as the top performances of each category. The distribution is simple:
- OVERALL: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place of the men’s and women’s overalls will each receive a coin. Overall winners will be removed from their respective age groups. Any coin that is not accepted by the overall winners will go into the lottery.
- All remaining categories, with the exception of the fat bike category, will receive (1) coin for the top podium spot.
- If an athlete from the age group or division categories elects to not accept their slot, the coin will “roll down” to the next top athlete in their category until accepted.
LOTTERY
- The event lottery is available to all official finishers who completed the 99er distance within the official course cutoff time.
- TO ENTER THE LOTTERY: simply put the lottery tear-off tab bearing your unique number from your bike plate into the drawing when they are called for after the awards ceremony.
- Names will be randomly drawn in the lottery from all eligible and interested athletes to distribute these coins until none remain.
