12 days til race day; 191 runners have signed up for Mud Mountain XV; souvenir dri-fits go on sale July 23 at The Cyclery; limited number available

The record registration pace for Mud Mountain XV continued over the weekend. Race entries now total 191, the highest ever for this date. Traditionally, the majority of runners sign up in the week before Mud Mountain, with as many as 160 registering at the course up on race day. Again this year, to ease the race day crunch, we are urging pre-registered runners to pick up their race packets at the Cyclery, 2470 Troy Road, in Edwardsville, on July 23 (the day before Mud Mountain). Runners can also register for the race that day for the mail-in price. As an incentive, the limited edition dri-fit t-shirts pictured above, will be offered for sale ($25) at the Cyclery on July 23, and again at the course on race day until they sell out. (The dri-fits are in addition to the regular race t-shirt all pre-registered runners will receive in their race packets.) So - sign up early. Buy a dri-fit. Be happy!
