Summer Predictor Series

Leadville, United States • 30 Aug 2025

Summer Predictor SERIES - Derek Lindstrom is a fundraising running series featuring prediction games tied to two summer races. For 2025, events take place in Leadville, Colorado, and Marquette, Michigan, with the Leadville Trail Marathon (26.2 miles) and the Marquette Half Marathon (13.1 miles). Participants pay $5 per guess to predict finish times, and may submit multiple entries.
