With the 2016 MDH100 in the books and LT100 Trail this weekend, I wanted to post a comparison between the two races. I’ve done Maah Daah Hey 100 twice now in 2014 and 2016 while I’ve done Leadville Trail 100 once in 2015. I’ve promised some Maah Daah Hey enthusiasts a comparison between the two races for a while, so here it is. Please note while I do have some facts in here, some of this is my own personal opinion, so take it as you will. Also note I am not any type of elite rider whatsoever finishing MDH in 14-16 hr range and Leadville in the 11 hr range. I’ve separated scoring into 6 categories, Distance, Vertical Climbing, Elevation, Course, Temperature and Weather. When one race separates itself from another, I’m adding points in that category for that race, each point representing 10% more difficult. Distance: Total Distance of course LT100 MDH100 103.4 Miles 106.0 Miles Score: +.25 for MDH100 as both are 100 mile+ races, Adv
