3rd Annual Bay to Glaciers Charity Fun Run
Auke Bay Elementary School to West Glacier Trail
August 16th 1986 (Saturday) 9:00AM
Distance: 3.8 miles Location: Auke Bay Elementary School to the West Glacier Trail parking lot Start Time: 9:00 AM Registration Fee: 8 dollars, or 20 dollars including the Mendenhall float trip Contact: Alaska Travel Adventures, 200 North Franklin Street, or Alaska Airlines in the Nugget Mall The third Bay to Glaciers Charity Fun Run, with the proceeds going to the Juneau Special Olympics. Entries opened at noon on Friday 1 August, and again from 8:00 on the morning. The 20 dollar entry bought a way back: those runners floated down the Mendenhall River and were then bussed from the takeout at Brotherhood Bridge to Auke Bay School, with a clothesmobile carrying warm clothes to the river so nobody had to float in what they had run in. Everyone else went back from the finish by Gray Line motor coach. Prizes went to the first three men, the first three women, every 25th finisher and the craziest costume, and every entrant went into a drawing for a return flight for two to San Francisco from Alaska Airlines, a weekend for two to Skagway on the M.V. Fairweather from Holland America Westours, and a Mendenhall float trip for two from Alaska Travel Adventures. Sponsored by Alaska Airlines, Alaska Travel Adventures, the Juneau Empire and Westours.

Child Inc.-REACH 10-K Handicap Run
4213 Taku Blvd, Mendenhall Valley
July 26th 1986 (Saturday) 9:00AM
Distance: 10 kilometers Location: 4213 Taku Blvd to Mark Allen Drive, alongside Egan Drive and Old Glacier Highway Start Time: 9:00 AM, registration from 8:00 AM Race Director: Linda Layfield Registration Fee: 10 dollar minimum pledge, including a T-shirt A pledge run for REACH and Child, Inc., starting and finishing at their group homes in the Mendenhall Valley, with prizes including trips to Skagway and to Haines. Every entrant was given a handicap from the 10Ks they had already run that summer, or from their minutes per mile over shorter races if they had run none. The slower runners set off first and the faster ones later, so that if the handicaps were right the field would reach the line together. They very nearly did - 29 runners inside ten minutes of each other, and twenty-three of them inside four. CJ Stewart won off 15 minutes with a 36:43, from Paul Tierney off 12 minutes in 40:46 and Leslie Johnson off 11:15 in 46:33. Al Graves ran the fastest 10K of the day, 31:24 off a 28 minute delay, and finished 16th. (29 records)Linda Layfield

55 Minute Challenge
Juneau
June 8th 1986 (Sunday) 2:00PM
Distance: your own, between 1 and 11 miles Location: the UAJ Auke Lake campus parking lot, out and back along the Back Loop Road Start Time: 2:00 PM, registration from 1:00 PM Registration Fee: 7 dollars, with a T-shirt for the first 200 Contact: Juneau Parks and Recreation A race against the clock rather than against each other, put on by the Alaska State Troopers to raise money for Special Olympics - a warm-up for the troopers' annual SOME Run, the cross-country relay that benefits the same cause. Entrants picked a distance between one mile and eleven and had to be back inside 55 minutes; anyone who was went into a hopper, and the prizes were drawn at random at the end. Water and split times were laid on at marked turn-around points along the Back Loop Road. Serious runners could turn at the Mendenhall Glacier visitor center, which needed a five minute mile; weekend joggers could turn at one, two or three. "It is a personal challenge," said Sgt. Bill Farber. "We just want you to be back in 55 minutes. You do not have to run. You can skip, pogo stick or push a baby carriage. Whatever. I think this could turn into a lot of fun, and we would like to make it an annual event." About 190 turned out on a cool, rainy afternoon, from Taku Striders and Juneau-Douglas high school cross country and track runners to families on an outing and special olympians, and 1,400 dollars was raised. Glenn Frick, Tom Satre and Jerry Buckley set the highest goal of the day at nine miles. Frick, 47, was back in 51:27, a shade under a five and three quarter minute mile; Buckley, 43, cut it closest of anyone at 54:34. Thirty prizes were given out. Jon Weed took a return ticket to Seattle from Western Airlines, Ben Haight a Temsco helicopter glacier tour for two, and Agnes Secrist a morning jog and continental breakfast with Governor Bill Sheffield.
