| Event Name | Frank Maier Marathon 1992 |
| Race Name | 8k |
| Event Location | Sandy Beach, Savikko Park, Douglas |
| Event Description | Start Time: 8:00 AM for the marathon, 9:00 AM for the half-marathon and 8K Location: Sandy Beach, Savikko Park, Douglas Distances: 26.2 miles, 13.1 miles and 8 kilometers Registration Fee: $5, or $6 for the half and 8K on the day Race Director: Bob Deal Course: out and back on the Douglas Highway, the marathon turning at the top of a hill beyond the False Outer Point parking lot and the half-marathon between the Bonnie Brae subdivision and Fish Creek. Eight or nine aid stations with water and electrolyte replenishers. THE FIRST FRANK MAIER MEMORIAL MARATHON, and the first certified marathon ever run in Juneau. It is a memorial to Frank Maier, a long-time Juneau runner with a penchant for distance events, who was killed in a crabbing accident in the winter of 1990-91. Maier ran the old Parks and Recreation marathon nine times between 1980 and 1988, his fastest 3:20:18 in 1981. "It was always Frank Maier's vision to have a marathon in Juneau," said race director Bob Deal. "For years he was disappointed." Certification by The Athletics Congress means the course can serve as a qualifier for marathons that require a time standard, Boston among them. The course was measured twice by calibrated bicycle odometer and carries the standard 0.1 percent safety factor, so it is a little long. John Day won his first marathon in 3:13:04. "For me to win... You know none of the real runners in town were here," he said. "If they were, they would have slaughtered me." Walter Majoros was second in 3:34:41 - eleven years after placing 18th in the 1981 Juneau marathon in 3:43:47, he gained sixteen places and about nine minutes on a tougher course. Joan Herbage was the first woman across in 3:39:13, also her first marathon. Just eight runners took on the marathon and all eight finished. The half-marathon and 8K, run concurrently, drew a much larger field and many of those runners stayed to cheer the marathon finishers in. Out-of-town runners dominated the men's half: Dan Kelliher of Sitka won in 1:14:34 from Rick Thibodeau, with Chip Lende of Haines third. All three races counted toward the Empire Cup Runners Series, and a potluck followed at the Sandy Beach picnic shelter. NOTE ON THE RESULTS. 80 of the 81 printed finishers are recorded. The men's 8K lists "Bob Sylvester 46:16" twice, at 14th and 15th; one row is stored, because two people of one name is something this database can hold but not something to invent. Separately, a marathon result for Jim Douglas at 2:46:00 was already on file for this event before these clippings were read; the Empire names all eight marathon finishers and he is not among them, but he is first in the 40-44 half-marathon group at 1:18:52. That older row has been left untouched pending a decision. |
