29 days til race day; early entries total 43; Countdown asks for prediction of total number on July 24

Today Mud Mountain Countdown begins its annual poll to see who can predict how many runners will register for Mud Mountain XV. (The poll is located on the right column of this page. Vote early and often!) Predicting can be tricky, since race day totals are affected by weather, summer schedules, and how well the Mud Mountain Committee does marketing the race. So, take a look at the early numbers (below), compare to last year, and see if you can guess how many will sign up? The official Mud Mountain Countdown prediction? Based on complex scientific algorithms - 717.
