The 2025 Life Time Grand Prix is back in action with the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik on Saturday, August 9, 2025. It has been confirmed the race will be screened live in its entirety for the very first time in partnership with Orange Seal.
In May, over 350,000 fans from around the world tuned in to watch free-to-view coverage of the Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano. Following that debut broadcast, Life Time is set to follow suit in Colorado, with Orange Seal onboard as the broadcast’s presenting sponsor.
All the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB action will be available to stream live on the official Life Time Grand Prix YouTube channel and Life Time Digital app, beginning at 06:00 MDT with uninterrupted coverage of both the elite men’s and women’s races, and post-race interviews.
Following completion of both races, there will be a finish line camera through the 12-hour mark so every finisher (both professional and amateur) can be seen crossing the line.
Live, on-course video updates for the women’s and men’s races will also be shared on the official Life Time Grand Prix and Leadville Race Series Instagram pages, respectively.
Regular timing splits will be provided by Athlinks, and live GPS tracking for the entire elite field will be available on Enabled Adventures.
Fans will also be able to watch highlights on the official Life Time Grand Prix YouTube channel in the days following the race.
The 31st edition of Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB starts and finishes in the heart of Leadville, the highest incorporated city in North America at 10,152 feet. Along the 100-mile route, riders will amass 12,480 feet of elevation gain while traversing the rocky terrain of Powerline and taking in the views of Columbine Mine, which peaks at an elevation of nearly 12,500 feet.
Participating riders must contend with the effects of altitude, as well as the fierce field of competition, in one of the most prestigious cross-country MTB races in the world.
Michelle Duffy, Vice President of Events Marketing at Life Time, said “The racing at Leadville is like no other; it’s an iconic endurance MTB event and we’re super excited for the 2025 edition.
“This is the first time the overall standings have been tied for first place so we’re expecting a formidable battle between Cecily [Decker] and Sofía [Gómez Villafañe] in the women’s race; and of course, there are a whole host of other star athletes who’ll be looking to close the gap at the top of the leaderboard.
“In the men’s race too, it’ll be awesome to see if anyone can come close to halting Keegan Swenson’s incredible winning run in the men’s event, where he’s aiming for a fifth straight title.
“Our newly selected Wild Card riders are also joining the Life Time Grand Prix roster in Leadville, which will light up this unique race and shake up the leaderboards even further, and we’re stoked that fans around the world will be able to watch all the action live, for the very first time.”
