Mud Mountain XIII is history. The overall winners - Kent Wories and Candace Caveny - outran the largest field ever at Mud Mountain. In all, 567 runners registered for the 5K and One-Mile Fun Run. The weather was warm and humid, the course a bit wet and muddy in places, but no one required medical assistance due to the heat, and no one was injured in a slip or fall. The event was a great success for the Edwardsville Cross Country and Track & Field Booster Club.
However, there was some confusion at the end of the 5K Classic. We are still trying to figure out what happened, but regardless, it took longer than usual for us to determine the top finishers in the various age divisions, and we were unable to give out medals to the female age division winners at the race. Instead, we will be mailing those. There are a couple of men’s divisions that were also in dispute (including the Clydesdale division). We will make sure the right people get the right medals.
I want to apologize for the confusion. We will learn from this, and make Mud Mountain even better in the future. Most of all, I want to thank not only those of you who ran this challenging, muddy course today, but also the dozens of volunteers who give their time and energy to make Mud Mountain, by far, the best 5K race in the St. Louis area.
Over the next few days we’ll be posting lots of photos and video highlights of this year’s race, so keep an eye on www.mudmountain.org.
See you next summer!
