Finally, the big day is here. Mud Mountain XV! And we start the day with some new records, including 616 runners pre-registered for the 5K and One Mile Fun Run. That is the largest number to pre=register ever at Mud Mountain, shattering last year's previous record of 553. One year more than 130 signed up at the course on race day; if that happens today, we will set a new overall registration record. Let's hope it's a safe race!
