The Spudman is FULL as of 7:50pm on January 1st, 2007.  Wow. 


The CAP this year was raised this year by 300 bib numbers to 1600 and it sold out in one day.


Thanks!

You HAVE to allow some type of wait list!

Please open a wait list, and/or consider a further expansion of your race capacity. Some of us don't live connected to the internet each and every day. Consider a drawing or lottery for the next 400 slots? Spudman is a great race, and a full registration in 19 hours is proof of a very sought-after event. If $$ and available organization is your concern, charge a higher fee and you would be able to fund any needed expansion costs. Thanks!

Is there any type of waiting list? My friend was able to register and I couldn't and we were planning on doing it together. Let us know! Thanks!

Please - a wait list! We had NO idea it would fill up so fast. In years past we've had a little more time. We also thought you changed the course to allow more racers. Is 300 it?

Last year was my first Spudman, I have been looking forward to this year’s event. I was surprised last night at 8pm to see that the event was full. Thinking there was some kind of computer error I checked again this morning only to find that it really is! I hope you can find a way to open a wait list and or more spots for this event.

You guys do such an awesome job! I did get in! Fhew! But I also think a waiting list is a good idea. There is bound to be some drop outs! It couldn't hurt to make more money right! Anyway, I respect your decision! I am so excited about this year!

Thanks for doing a waiting list, assuming you will. I have been excited about doing this race this year. I was born and raised in the Burley area and have been looking forward to coming to my hometown and doing this race. Hopefully I can get in through the waiting list.

The hopes of a waitlist are huge. I'm sure the Burley Lions Club would make friends all over the country if they actually allowed people to join the race from the waitlist this year.

In fact, I'd say it would be the greatest thing to happen for Idaho since Boise State beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl! How 'bout them Broncos last night. Go BSU!

Thanks for all you do, BLC. Let's make it happen in Idaho one more time - open that waitlist! YEEEE-HAH!

This will be my first time competing in the Spudman Triathlon, It will be my third triathlon. I know Idaho is famous for its hot springs. Are there any hot springs locally? It sure would be nice to soak this tired body after the race. Somebody please let me know.

As a past racer in this event I use to love going to this race. With the growth of the race it has lost it's feel good feel that it use to have. I personally will be in McCall from now on two weeks later. To bad the local Idaho tri's lost a good race.

I would like to know when you will post the information for the 2008 Spud Man race, and when and where to register for the event. My Nephews wife and I would like to sign up for 2008. (She is in her 30s and elite. I’m over 50 and not so elite.) Any information would be great.
Thanks, Ben Farrer
