Last year a record number of 567 runners signed up for Mud Mountain XIII. In the 5K there were 485 runners; in the fun run, 82. Will more register this year, and set a new record? At this point, that is difficult to predict. Entries are running ahead of last year's pace, but have slowed in the last few days. The real wild card is what happens on race day. Last year, 163 runners signed up at the course on Saturday morning (also a record). If that many or more enter on race day this year, it's likely a new overall mark will be set. Why does it matter? Mainly because Mud Mountain is a fundraising event for the Edwardsville Cross Country and Track & Field Booster Club, which supports running programs at Liberty and Lincoln middle schools, and at Edwardsville High School. The more people at Mud Mountain, the more money raised for those programs. So, if you are reading this, and have not signed up to run, click here.
