Endurance mountain biking racing has become very popular the last several years. 100 mile races are particularly popular. A 100 mile mountain bike race is also known as a dirty hundy. The terrain for the races vary a lot and also the amount of support varies from well stocked aid stations to races that are self-supported.
The Leadville 100 is the oldest and most popular and has had an entry lottery for several years. Monday night most that entered the Leadville 100 lottery found out whether they’re in or out although a few have reported they haven’t heard either way. I was one of the lucky ones to get picked. In addition to the 100 mile Leadville race they also have the Silver Rush 50 and 24 hours of Leadville. You can keep up with all of the Leadville races on their new Facebook page.
There are plenty of other quality 100 mountain bike races besides the Leadville 100 plus there are 100k, 12 hour, 24 hour and longer mountain bike races. The National Ultra Endurance Race Series (NUE) is a national series of 11 endurance mountain bike races and 9 of them are 100 miles.
