The preliminary 2009 Leadville 100 mountain bike entrant list was posted yesterday. It has 1297 racers on it. The list on the official site is a MS Excel file. If you don’t have Excel, I converted it and have a web version of the entrant list.
I think last year they let in around a thousand and it wasn’t that long ago that the limit was closer to 750. Even though they let a record number of people in, there are lots of people on the Yahoo Leadville email list and on forums saying they didn’t get in.
Someone with a connection to someone at the race told me around 10,000 entries were received! That’s a lot more than what I’ve heard in past years. I expected a jump with all the publicity from Lance doing it last year but that’s more than I would have guessed.
