Life Time just dropped a game-changer for endurance athletes in the Southeast (and nationwide!)—the Coldwater Trail MTB & Run @coldwatertrail is coming to Anniston, Alabama, on October 24-25! The newest qualifier in the @ltraceseries Coldwater doesn’t need a qualifier status to stand out. This trail system holds its own against some of the best mountain bike and trail-running destinations in the country. We had the chance to get an early look at Coldwater Mountain, and it did not disappoint. The mix of fast flow, technical rock gardens, and classic singletrack kept us on our toes, while the rolling forest terrain made for some seriously fun miles. It’s a course that demands skill, endurance, and a willingness to suffer—exactly what makes it special. But beyond the trails, the real highlight is the people. The crew behind Coldwater—NEABA and the Coldwater Trails team—are passionate, welcoming, and absolutely committed to making this place a true endurance destination. If you haven’t ridden here yet, it’s time to make the trip. With Life Time stepping in, Coldwater is getting the national spotlight it deserves. What to Expect: 50K & 100K MTB Courses – A perfect mix of speed, technical challenge, and flow that will test even the most experienced riders. 15K & 50K Trail Runs – Demanding terrain that rewards strong legs, smart pacing, and a love for the backcountry. A Race Worth the Effort – This is a course that doesn’t just qualify you for something bigger—it is the challenge. We’ve ridden it, met the people, and seen the potential. Coldwater Mountain is no longer just a hidden gem in the Southeast—it’s a must-ride destination. See you in Anniston. 📸 @nordicphotoco Via LifeTime
