A series of qualifying races will be used by the new owners of the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race in addition to the traditional race lottery.

In a partnership with AEG, owner of among other things the Amgen Tour of California, Life Time Fitness will use three qualifying races for the 2011 Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race. The unidentified events will be held in June and July in California, Colorado and the Northeast and guarantee entry into the LT 100, which sells out annually.
