Description The 1987 Juneau Marathon, 8 a.m. on Saturday 8 August, out and back from the Mendenhall Glacier parking lot with the turnaround at Centennial Hall downtown. A half marathon and a quarter marathon started at the same time. Forty-one runners finished across the three distances; two more started and did not finish, Guy Thibodeau in the half and Charlie Northrip in the quarter.
Glenn Frick won the marathon in a personal best 2:42.27, having looked at the fields for the quarter and the half, decided he could not win either, and entered the full a few minutes before the start. "I woke up and my knees hurt and I had a side ache," he told the Empire. "But I got running and I felt great. I didn't train at all."
John Schwarte of Gustavus was second in 2:48.56 and Gene Miller third in 3:31.48, both personal bests. Colleen Porter of Anchorage was the only woman in the marathon and finished seventh overall. Alan Graves won the half in 1:11.44 and Kelly Miller the quarter in 36.48.
Daniel Archambeau flew from Marquette, Michigan to run it - a veteran of 25 marathons working through every state and Canadian province, this one his seventeenth state.
The Empire reported the course record as 2:30.46, set in 1982 by Tom Bernard, then stationed in Juneau with the Coast Guard. It also noted the course was not sanctioned by the sport's national governing body, so times run here could not be used to qualify for Boston, New York or Chicago.
