Life Time Announces New Mountain Bike and Run Event - Coldwater Trail - in Northeast Alabama on Oct. 24 & 25
ANNISTON, Ala., March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, announces the launch of the Life Time Coldwater Trail MTB & Run presented by Sunny King Auto. This new mountain bike and trail run event is set for October 24 and 25, 2025 in Anniston, Alabama and adds to the Company's portfolio of nearly 30 iconic athletic events across the country.
Life Time, owner and producer of this new endurance event, invites mountain bikers and trail runners to discover the hidden gem of Coldwater Mountain in Anniston, Alabama. The event will offer 50K and 100K distances for cyclists, as well as 15K and 50K distances for runners, and will showcase portions of the more than 4,000 acres of land that make up the picturesque Coldwater Mountain Trail System.
'Over the past few years, we've been searching the southeast to find the right venue to bring a new Leadville qualifier and have found that in Anniston,' said Kimo Seymour, President of Media and Events at Life Time. 'Life Time is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences and meaningful partnerships with local host communities. We're excited for Anniston to be our latest partner in that as we welcome trail runners and mountain bikers from around the globe.'
As a rising destination for outdoor recreation and in what the Alabama Tourism Department has declared 'The Year of Alabama Trails,' Anniston and the surrounding Calhoun County have gone all in on their investment in outdoor recreation.
The vision and dedication from the community that transformed Coldwater Mountain into a premier riding and running destination is what caught the attention of Life Time.
'Thanks to the hard work of NEABA members and the support of the local community, Coldwater Mountain Bike Trail System is quickly becoming the go-to place for mountain biking in the southeast,' said Ken Hickman, President of the Northeast Alabama Bicycle Association. 'The trails offer a unique blend of natural beauty and technical challenges, making them a favorite among riders and offering something for everyone. We're excited to be working with Life Time to highlight what Coldwater has to offer.'
The Life Time Coldwater Trail MTB & Run will offer a variety of race categories to accommodate both competitive and recreational participants, ranging from technical mountain bike races to scenic trail runs through Anniston's lush forests and rugged terrain. The course will showcase some of the area's most iconic trails, many of which have been crafted and maintained through partnerships between local volunteers, trail advocacy groups, and the City of Anniston. To date, more than $4 million has been invested in the development of the Coldwater Mountain Trail area from a variety of sources including the City of Anniston, state grants and Innovate Alabama.
'Over the past two years Innovate Alabama has invested nearly $20 million in outdoor recreation infrastructure across the state to further Alabama's position as a home for an outdoor lifestyle, with Coldwater Mountain being one of those key early projects,' stated T.C. McLemore, Executive Director of Outdoor Recreation Programs at Innovate Alabama. 'Life Time's recognition of not just Coldwater as a unique natural asset but of east Alabama's community of mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts validates that investment.'
The event also will feature a weekend of family-friendly activities, live music, and local food vendors, providing an opportunity for attendees to experience Anniston's southern hospitality.
The Life Time Coldwater Trail MTB & Run expands Life Time's portfolio of owned and produced athletic events, and will serve as a qualifying event for Life Time's Leadville Trail 100 MTB presented by Kenetik and Leadville Trail 100 Run presented by La Sportiva. It is the most easterly Leadville qualifying event in the country. For more information on the Leadville Race Series and how to qualify, visit www.leadvilleraceseries.com/lottery-qualification.

Kamet Capital Leads Exclusive Series A Investment in AI Avatar Pioneer TopView
Kamet Capital backs industry-first AI avatar platform enabling digital humans to physically interact with products SINGAPORE, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kamet Capital, a leading multi-single-family office headquartered in Singapore, has announced the completion of its exclusive Series A investment of USD 8.5 million into ("TopView"). The fast-rising AI-powered product content creation platform is transforming how brands produce immersive and conversion-driven e-commerce content through breakthrough AI avatar technology. Launched in Singapore in 2024, TopView is a next-generation content creation platform that harnesses proprietary AI and digital human technology to revolutionise how businesses produce high-quality video content. Its platform empowers brands to create immersive, UGC-style videos and product photos at scale without the need for filming, editing, actors, or KOLs. With its industry-first capabilities, including lifelike AI avatars that can physically interact with products on screen, TopView transforms conventional product showcases into dynamic, conversion-driven experiences. TopView's latest Product Avatar and Product AnyShoot version 2.0 solutions require only one product image to generate hyper-realistic content featuring AI avatars that look and behave like real-life presenters. These avatars can "physically" catch, hold, and demonstrate products onscreen, and unlock a whole new level of avatar-product interaction for brands looking to create engaging and scalable product content for e-commerce, livestreaming, and social media marketing. Driven by its breakthrough technology, TopView has achieved exceptional commercial momentum, recording over 50% month-over-month growth in recurring revenue since the release of V2.0. Its growing roster of enterprise clients includes major regional and international brands such as L'Oréal, ANTA, and Anker. TopView's rise is further bolstered by Kamet Capital's strategic support. In addition to leading the Series A funding, Kamet provided comprehensive incubation support, offered workspace at its offices in the company's early days, guided the setup of its global headquarters in Singapore, and facilitated business development across Southeast Asia. Kamet also connected TopView to a broader network of families and founders through its proprietary Founders Network. "At Kamet, we seek out visionary founders with disruptive ideas capable of reshaping industries," said Kerry Goh, Founder and CEO of Kamet Capital. "TopView represents not only a rare AI investment opportunity from Asia but also exemplifies our ability to leverage Kamet's deep Founders Network to source, support, and scale emerging leaders in high-growth sectors." TopView was co-founded by Jensen Wu and Albert Chen, whose careers span years at one of Asia's top 5 tech giants. Within one year of setting up in Singapore, the company caught the attention of the prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), which featured TopView in its investment thesis on AI avatars. Singapore's emergence as Asia's Palo Alto made it the natural choice for TopView's headquarters. With its deep tech talent pool, the presence of regional or international headquarters of major tech firms, and the support of forward-looking venture capital, such as Kamet's Founders Network, Singapore offered an ideal environment for TopView's next phase of growth. TopView has strong potential to transform sectors and build capabilities in Singapore. It was selected for Singapore's IMDA Spark programme, and its founder, Jensen Wu, is also part of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)'s Global Founder Programme, a support initiative for experienced founders to scale global ventures in Singapore. "We're entering a new era where AI avatars can now act, present, and connect like real humans on behalf of brands," said Jensen Wu, Co-Founder and CEO of TopView. "Our technology aims to reshape the boundaries of digital commerce by turning product pages into rich, interactive experiences. Kamet's backing accelerates our ability to scale globally, while anchoring our innovation in Singapore – a world-class launchpad for the next generation of AI-powered storytelling." "AI avatars represent one of the most exciting frontiers in next-generation digital commerce," added Kerry. "With TopView, Singapore is well-positioned to play a leadership role in this emerging space." Kamet continues to explore new investment opportunities in the most innovative areas and welcomes more families and investors to join its Founders Network and co-participate in such deals.
