Seeking Volunteers for our TWO Leadville 100 Aid Stations!

Calling all HMI alumni, parents, former staff, and friends of the school! HMI will be staffing TWO aid stations this month for the Leadville Trail 100 Bike AND 100 Run and we need your help. We are seeking volunteers to help oversee the operations of both aid station including preparing food, organizing drop bags, staffing a warming tent, and doing other essential tasks. The Leadville 100 Bike race will take place on Saturday, August 15, 2026; the 100 Run will be on Saturday, August 22, 2026. 

For more info, or to sign up, contact alumni@hminet.org or call (719) 846-8200 x109. 

Last year, over 20 HMI volunteers helped staff the LT100 Run aid station for nearly 24-hours!

Coming off the success of last year’s HMI aid station at the LT100 run, we have signed up to staff aid stations at both 100s this year: the Bike and the Run. 

For the LT100 Bike (8/15), we are seeking volunteers for the following timeslots:

  • 7am – 10am
  • 10am – 1pm
  • 1pm – 4:30pm

For the LT100 Run (8/22), we are seeking volunteers for the following timeslots: 

  • 6AM – Noon 
  • Noon – 3PM 
  • 3PM – 8PM
  • 8PM – 4AM 

Volunteers are invited to crash in an HMI cabin (or pitch a tent on campus) before or after either race! Friends / family / partners / pets are welcome. We hope to see you then! 

For more info, or to sign up, contact alumni@hminet.org or call (719) 846-8200 x109. 

Volunteering for the Leadville 100 is fun, inspiring, and rewarding. And a great excuse to return to HMI!
