Juneau June 13th 1981 (Saturday) 10:00AM | Distance: 10 miles, run and cycled on the same course at the same time Location: Juneau Twenty-seven runners and twelve cyclists raced the same ten miles together. Pat O'Brien led a group of six sub-30-minute bicycle racers home in 28:11, nosing out Tony Jacobsen by three seconds; Don Cofoed came in 74 seconds later and still broke the half hour, as did Brian Holst, Mark Guillaume and David Stott. On foot, Guy Thibodeau broke the hour comfortably in 57:20. Steve Davis was second in 59:29 and the only other runner inside six minutes a mile; Glenn Frick took third in 60:16, just missing it. The bicycle race is held here as a race with "Bike" in its name. That is deliberate: runnerprofile.php excludes any race whose name contains bike, swim or scramble from a runner's distance totals, so the ten miles pedalled do not count as ten miles run. Renaming it would quietly put them back. The bike results are printed with Brian Holst fourth on 29:52 ahead of Mark Guillaume on 29:44; they are stored as printed.

Floyd Dryden Junior High, Mendenhall Valley, Juneau May 31st 1981 (Sunday) 1:00PM | Distance: 9 miles in four legs of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 miles Location: Floyd Dryden Junior High, Mendenhall Valley Start Time: 1:00 PM Registration Fee: 8 dollars per team A four-person loop relay sponsored by the Taku Striders, the Juneau club that also ran the 1976 summer series. Every team had to field a junior high runner, a high school runner, an adult of 19 to 35 and a senior of 36 or over, and at least one member of each team had to be female. Twelve teams finished. T-shirts were awarded by random draw rather than to the winners. ONLY TEAM TIMES WERE PUBLISHED. The Empire printed each team's four members and one time, with no individual leg times at all. Team times on this site are added up from the rows rather than stored, so each team's total is held on one member's row and the other three carry no time. THE MEMBER HOLDING THE TOTAL IS SIMPLY THE FIRST ONE PRINTED and did not necessarily run it; every row says so. No distance is recorded against the runners, because the order the names are printed in is not the order of the legs - team 1 lists 42-year-old Glenn Frick third, where a senior runner would anchor - so there is no way to say who ran 1.5 miles and who ran 3.0. Team 10 is two men both called John Haywood. (48 records) | DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned leg+:yes club:yes cup:no results: yes pics:no |

Fish Creek May 2nd 1981 (Saturday) 9:00AM | 1st May Day Mud Scramble aka Springtide Scramble. Promoted by John Ingalls as a promotional event for a Queen Ida Concert. Race sponsored in 1981 and 1982. in 1983 Jerry Buckley introduced the race to the local running club and SERR has sponsored it ever since. The two divisional winners below are reported in the Empire's preview of the second annual race a year later: "Last year Guy Thibodeau swept the men's division with a time of 47 minutes and 23 seconds while Mary Hakala took the women's division in 59 minutes and 13 seconds." The rest of the 1981 field is not recorded. The same preview describes calamity at this first running, when one runner looked for a short cut and ended up in chest deep water and another lost one of his 80 dollar running shoes in the mud.
