Mud Mountain is a big fundraiser for Edwardsville High School and middle school cross country and track programs.
Edwardsville High School George Patrylak beams with pride each year with the race and having alumni from the cross-country and track teams return home. The coach is Mud Mountain race director. Several alumni run in the race each year, the coach said.
“We support 12 programs through this race,” Patrylak said. “It's great to see people helping out and supporting the programs.”
Traditionally, the alumni gather away from the race and have a meal together and reminisce of the past.
