Today is Wednesday, August 27th, and on this day in 1983, Ken Chlouber and Merlilee Maupin hosted the first Leadville Trail 100 in Leadville, Colorado.


 


In this episode, we’ll talk to Ken and Merilee about how they turned their small mining town into the home of one of the most iconic ultramarathons in the United States.
