Lifetime Launches $250,000 Grand Prix Gravel and MTB Series

Is Sea otter the only race with an “open” entry (i.e. anyone can enter the pro race)?

I think the only two with lotteries are Leadville and Unbound.

Is the $250k coming from entries fees, or from sponsors chipping in extra cash? (Apologies if this is common knowledge, but I don’t know).

I will never win money in a race/event for placing, and have seen race/event entry fees go up and up over the years. I’d hate to see this drive entry costs up even more.

Not to stir the pot too much with the debate itself, but has Lifetime announced any rule changes for the series around the male athletes supporting female athletes thing?

Crusher in the Tushar

They introduced a rule for Crusher?

Rule?…I was just pointing out that’s an open entry race.

So, unrelated to my question?

I don’t understand your meaning.

I thought I answered this question

Oh, sorry. I saw tours replied and assumed it was to my last question as it was not long before your answer.

No I don’t believe there have been any rules implemented regarding male athletes pacing female athletes.

Here’s their info guide.
