The 2025 Austin Rattler is a qualifier event for the 2026 Life Time Leadville Trail 100 Run presented by La Sportiva and the 2026 Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik.
There are a minimum of 35 LT100 qualifier coins up for grabs at each of the Austin Rattler events, RUN & MTB. Qualifier coins will only be given to athletes who finish the 60M MTB and the 50k RUN.
