Leadville 100: How Mary Denholm Trained, Fueled, and Lived to Win the 2024 Race
What does it take to win the Leadville Trail 100 Run during your first-ever year of competing on trail?
Mary Denholm cracked the code after racing almost exclusively on roads from 2015-2024.
During that time, she took her road marathon personal record from 3:39 to 2:36 and qualified twice for the Olympic Marathon Trials.
Mary decided to shift to ultrarunning in early 2024, and on August 17th, she won Leadville’s legendary 100 mile race.
