| Location | Juneau |
| Description |
Distance: 3 miles Location: Juneau An Empire Cup Runners Series race, started at midnight, and a fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy of Alaska. 645 people took part and the night raised $17,196 for the MDA. 428 of them ran the three miles and are placed and timed here; the other 217 walked a mile, which the Juneau Empire did not itemise. Fourteen of the 428 finishers were printed by the paper as "n/a" with no name at all, so 414 are recorded on this site. Rick Thibodeau won in 15:52.4 from his brother Guy in 15:52.7 - three tenths of a second between them - with Steve Schmitz third. Charlie Metzgar finished seventeenth and his time was lost in the newspaper's own typesetting, his entry running into the finisher below him. Hilary Lindh finished 76th in 21:39.6, eight months before she won the Olympic downhill silver medal at Albertville. Richard F. Schmitz, who wrote the Empire's report of the race, ran it himself in 35:33 and finished 385th. Of the 428 who ran the three miles, the Empire counts 183 in the men's division, 132 in the women's, 29 in the men's and women's masters for runners of 50 and over, and 67 under 14. Those four add to 411; the remaining 17 ran in a division the paper calls new that year, the Hubba Bubba, entered by men over 190 pounds and women over 140. Sean Dorsey won it in 21:09 from Jerry Rose in 21:29. So the five divisions account for all 428. Glenn Frick won the men's masters in 17:56 and Ramona Ignell the women's in 23:10. In the under-14 division Nathan Scribner was fastest in 22:12, from Anne-Christina Baxter in 22:21 and Travis Zangri in 22:39. The Empire reports a sunny day in the eighties and 60 degrees by the midnight start. Every finishing position quoted above and below is the Empire's own, counting all 428 who ran the three miles. The table on this page can only order the 414 it names, so a runner's position here is lower than the paper's by however many of the fourteen unnamed finishers came in ahead of them.
