Dedicated to Dirt: Leadville Qualifying Series Entry Giveaway
Team Strava is headed to the Leadville 100 MTB race this summer and we want you to join us.
As one of the most well known mountain bike races in North America, getting into the Leadville 100 is extraordinarily difficult. We want to help you get there, so we’re giving away three entries to each Leadville Qualifying Series race!
How To Earn Yourself An Entry
You will need the Instagram photo app for your smartphone and a big imagination.
Snap a photo from the trail and show us what it means to be dedicated to dirt. Photos of your bike, mud, sweat, friends and scenery are all welcome. Submit your photo to Instagram using the race-specific #hashtag (found below). From there, we’ll compile all the photo submissions in an album. Share your photo from the album with your friends, club members and fellow athletes and rally likes/tweets around your photo.
At the end of the voting period for each race entry giveaway, the top two photos with the most likes/tweets will earn an entry to that qualifying race. The Strava team will choose the third winning entry based on the photo’s epicness, suffer-quality or creativity.
How to Submit a Photo
Entering is simple:
-
Take a picture of your life as a dedicated athlete out on the dirt, trail or mud.
-
Upload your photo to Instagram and tag it with @stravacycling plus the hashtag of the race you’d like to win entry to. For example, if you want to compete in the Austin Rattler tag your photo: “@stravacycling #StravaAustinRattler”.
-
The photos must be your own original work and submitted by 12:00am PST on the voting deadline date.
