<p> The Rocky Mountains are a magical and breathtaking place. From our basecamp in Leadville we will soak in views of nearby towering 14,000 foot peaks as we explore a variety of challenging trails during the beautiful mountain summer in Colorado. The crew from Becoming Ultra and your expert coaches will host special clinics and accommodate all levels of runners as we guide you through these vast and sweeping landscapes.</p><h3>The venue: </h3><p>Freight Leadville  is “situated in the shadow of Mt. Elbert, Colorado’s highest fourteener. A passenger train still puffs by the window every afternoon.
