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. |
