Growing Pains

Growing Pains & Registrations Issues – Superior “Spring” Trail Race 25KM and 50KM, 2015
From: John Storkamp – Race Director

Dear Trail Community,

I would like to apologize for the technical issues with the Superior Spring Trail Race website during this years registration period.   Every attempt was made to keep people up to speed on the issue and the measures we were taking to correct it, part of that was the temporary suspension of registration while we worked to resolve the problem.  We asked that people check back on our website (and Facebook page) as we were planning to reopen registration as soon as the issue was resolved.  Once we were satisfied the issue was resolved and could reopen registration we made an announcement on our website and Facebook page(s) and registration commenced until the field limit was met.  It should be noted that for the 2013 race the field limit was me in 7 weeks, for 2014 it was met in 7 days and for 2015 we estimated it could fill in as quick as 4 days, so after reopening registration we fully expected people to have the opportunity to register for a few more days, in actuality the field limit was met in about 7 hours total registration “open” time, something that very few trail races in the entire country experience.
