Here's what I found: Slowest Time Aid Station Average for 29+ Through Aid Official Cutoff Hr finishers Station of any finisher May Queen 2:27 2:56 3:15 Fish Hatchery 4:44 5:29 6:00 Half Moon 6:14 7:26 8:00 Twin Lakes 8:25 9:35 10:30 Winfield 12:24 13:22 14:00 Twin Lakes 16:34 17:40 17:45 Half Moon 19:35 20:45 20:45 Fish Hatchery 21:48 22:52 23:00 May Queen 25:38 26:31 (as listed 26:30 in results) Finish 29:30 29:56 30:00 Averages are averages; however, these average times can give the majority of those aspiring to a sub-30 hour finish at Leadville a closer idea than the cutoffs of what to shoot for.
