Team VPA showed up BIG in Leadville this past weekend!
Bryan and Daniel took on the Leadville Trail 10K — the highest 10K in the world — and got another taste of those thin-air Leadville miles. But if you’ve been following along, you know the 10K was just one more step toward the BIG one this weekend: the Leadville Trail 100 Run.
For Bryan, the weekend was even bigger. He completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB on Saturday before turning around and tackling the 10K on Sunday! This marked his 4th Leadville event of the summer as he continues his pursuit of the coveted Lead Challenge Axe.
And now… it’s 100-mile week.
This weekend, Bryan and Daniel will toe the line for the Leadville Trail 100 Run, joined by fellow Team VPA athletes Abby and Sarah.
Four Team VPA athletes.
100 miles.
One legendary course through the Colorado Rockies.
Team VPA is showing up BIG in Leadville, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what this crew can do.
Follow along this weekend as Bryan, Daniel, Abby, and Sarah take on the Race Across the Sky!
Plant-powered. Mountain-tested. Keep moving forward.
