Life Time has revealed that Life Time Big Sugar Gravel presented by Kenetik will be screened live in its entirety for the first time. Fans across the world will be able to watch all the action unfold, free of charge, as the 2025 Life Time Grand Prix reaches a finale on Saturday, October 18th.
In May, Life Time reported that over 350,000 spectators tuned in to watch coverage of the Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano. Following that debut broadcast, Life Time followed suit at the Life Time Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik in August, and this will be the third race in the series to feature a live broadcast.
All the action will be available to stream live on the official Life Time Grand Prix YouTube channel and Life Time app, beginning at 07:10 CDT with uninterrupted coverage of both the elite men’s and women’s races, and post-race interviews.
Following completion of both races, there will be a finish line camera through the 12-hour mark so every finisher (both professional and amateur) can be seen crossing the line.
Live, on-course video updates for the men’s and women’s races will be shared on the official Life Time Big Sugar Classic and Life Time Grand Prix Instagram pages.
Regular timing splits will also be provided by Athlinks and live GPS tracking for the entire elite field will be available on Enabled Adventure.
Fans will be able to watch highlights on the official Life Time Grand Prix YouTube channel on Sunday, October 19th.
Life Time has also confirmed that the route for the Life Time Big Sugar Gravel has been updated for 2025. The route will feature a new aid station at Rockford Grange, which comes at the 74-mile mark and features a custom-cut trail directing riders into this former Olympic training facility.
In total, the race clocks in at 99.6 miles – and while 5.66 miles shorter than last year’s route, the new course features 827 additional feet of remote, rugged climbing. As always, the course is also packed with ‘gloriously chunky’ gravel and off-camber descents, with the Ozark Mountains providing a backdrop to the finale of the 2025 series.
Rockford Grange Aid Station and the Start/Finish will feature a big screen with the livestream for spectators to follow the action.
The new route is available to pre-ride virtually through the Big Sugar Classic’s official virtual cycling partner, ROUVY.
Six days before the Big Sugar Gravel, on Sunday, October 12, is the kick off to the Big Sugar Classic week in Bentonville: the Life Time Little Sugar MTB.
This is the first time the Life Time Little Sugar MTB has been included in the Life Time Grand Prix, cementing its place as one of the leading events on the US off-road calendar.
