2026 Life Time Silver Rush MTB Events presented by Kenetik

The Silver Rush 50 MTB is an exhilarating journey through the heart of Colorado's rugged mountains, part of the prestigious Leadville Race Series. Participants saddle up for a challenging 50-mile point-to-point ride that weaves its way across gravel roads and forest tracks, offering both technical riding sections and wide-open descents.
The course profile includes significant elevation gain as it snakes through undulating terrain with long climbs rewarding riders with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Aid stations are strategically placed to ensure comfort throughout this demanding route while providing essential support for cyclists looking to push their limits in a visually stunning setting during autumn's crisp air and vibrant foliage.
Silver Rush 50 is designed not only as preparation for those aspiring towards major ultra-distance mountain bike events but also stands on its own merit—a memorable experience that appeals strongly to riders who appreciate both the physical challenge of an epic ride coupled with nature’s beauty at peak fall colors. The event attracts a community atmosphere where encouragement flows freely among competitors aiming high, creating moments that last long beyond reaching the finish line in historic Leadville.
This edition promises another unforgettable adventure into one of America's most iconic mountain biking landscapes.
