Byron will be running one of the oldest and most iconic 100-mile trail races in the US, the Leadville 100.  The course includes steep climbs and technical terrain on the Colorado Trail, amounting to over 18,000 feet of elevation gain. It reaches a peak elevation of 12,600 feet at the crux of the course, ironically titled Hope Pass, where runners gasp for breath and question their sanity. The goal is to finish.
