| Event Name | May Day Mud Run 1986 |
| Race Name | 7.9 Mile |
| Event Location | Tlingit-Haida Community Center, Hospital Drive, Juneau |
| Event Description | Start Time: 4:30 PM, set by the tide - low water was 4:30 PM at plus one foot. Location: Tlingit-Haida Community Center, Hospital Drive, finishing at Fish Creek on Douglas Island Distance: 7.9 miles, point to point Registration Fee: $8 Contact: Jerry Buckley, 586-5663 or 789-3184 Course: follow Old Glacier Highway past Twin Lakes to the end of Sunny Point Road, where the trail ends and the mud begins, then across the Mendenhall Wetlands mudflats to Fish Creek. The sixth annual running, and by the Empire's account "certainly one of Juneau's most challenging running events - if not the most fun. Not to run in perhaps, but to watch." Refreshments and a camp fire at Fish Creek for all finishers, and an official posted at the end of Sunny Point Road for anyone who decided against crossing the flats. Al Graves won in 46:11. That is the only finisher recorded here: the time comes from the 1988 report, where it is the course record Andy Grossman broke, and no results list for 1986 has been found. The field was not one runner. The preview also looks back at the two years before: the record then stood at 46:17, Olympic biathlon skier Dave Michael ran 48:33 in 1984, and in 1985 Rick Thibodeau won in 46:29 with Nancy Pease leading the women in 54:27. |
