Sold out! Two and a half months in advance

in running •  7 years ago 

Now that’s something to make a race director smile.

The WUU2K(Wellington Urban Ultra) sold out today and there is still two and a half months to go until the race.

That’s awesome. It just goes to show how the race has grown over the last two years. This is only the third year it will be run and it is already proving to be a popular race.

The first race had around 135 finishers. 2017 saw that number rise to about 186.

The entry numbers this year is capped at 300, so it looks like I’ll be lining up with 300 other mad buggers in the middle of July ready to pound my way around 62kms of the biggest, baddest hills in Wellington.

I’m seriously looking forward to it.

might have to cap it at 500 next time??

There are already 30 on the waiting list this morning, so yeah, maybe 500 next year is a good number ;-)

Maybe next year you'll be one of the starters............. ;-)

Wow, that is a great success! Congrats! I am glad you are in as well ;-)

I think it is great that the race is so well supported in only its third year. It will only get bigger from here.

I like it when someone has a vision and others get on board to help make it a reality, and it does well ;-)

Congratulations, that's so great! It sounds like an amazing race.

It's really hard and challenging, but it is also a bunch of fun. I'm really happy for the organizers that this is going so well for them.

We all have dreams.
But in order to make dreams come into reality,
it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication,
self-discipline, and effort.
