Race Founder Ken Chlouber Tells the Leadville Story - Part II
Welcome to this episode of Grit, Guts and Determination, The Leadville Race Series Podcast, a leading authority on all things Leadville. Host Cole Chlouber takes us on a story-telling journey of the 38 year rich history of this race. Listen in as they provide tips, tricks, and stories from the Leadville members. In this episode, race founder Ken Chlouber tells the second part of the Leadville story. Don’t miss the rich knowledge and wisdom Ken has to share - from motivation and inspiration to the values Leadville cherishes most.
If there is one thing Ken could pass on from the Leadville family to another, it’s that you just don’t quit. A good attitude, integrity, honesty and character matter to Ken and to the Leadville 100. It’s what gets the athletes to the finish line. Leadville is like one big intimate family, but it could be even bigger. More people are coming out of the pandemic understanding that health is vital and the importance of being fit for a lifetime. Ken relays the magic of Leadville and the sacredness you can only experience there. No matter what, the story has to continue on.
He stresses the importance of believing in yourself and sharing that belief with others. Through this, they have made a better Leadville, now let’s make a better world. He passes the torch on to Cole, who will step up in his father’s place. Leadville is a source of hope for many and soon the whole world will see it. Ken gives Cole some of the credit for the motivation he provided his dad the times he completed the Leadville 100. His father taught him from early on that it’s never okay to quit.
Cole hopes to pass on all of the lessons his father has taught him over the years. Putting one foot in front of the other is simple if you know how to, but if you don’t, it’s the hardest thing in the world. It’s not the Leadville way to determine if someone is good enough to participate. If there’s enough room, everyone is welcome. There’s no finish line, but a line where you start training for the next one.
