Race Across the Sky

Hail, heat, snow and 14,000 vertical feet — the Leadville Trail 100 is the Ironman of biking

Some of the world’s best cyclists endure extreme conditions during the grueling Leadville Trail 100 Race Across the Sky Mountain Bike Race.

Frontrunners Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner and Austinite, and Dave Wiens, six-time Race winner and 2008 defending champion, will both be participating in a live panel discussion following today’s nationwide broadcast of Race. 7 p.m. Various locations, including Edwards Houston Marq*E 23 & IMAX, 7620 Katy Freeway.
