| Description |
Fourth annual May Day Mud Race, 5:00 PM start - timed to the tide, which was low at 5:45 PM at 1.4 feet. A 7.9 mile point-to-point: start at the Tlingit-Haida Community Center by the Salmon Creek Hatchery on Old Glacier Highway, finish at Fish Creek on the North Douglas Highway. The course follows Glacier Highway past Twin Lakes, crosses the Egan Expressway at the Switzer Creek exit, then follows Sunny Point Road to its north end before entering the Mendenhall Wetlands - and then across the Gastineau Channel mudflats behind the airport runway at low tide. Sponsored by the Taku Striders, Jerry Buckley and John Ingalls. Entry $4, payable half an hour before the start. Prizes in three men's and three women's classes - cash, pizzas, movie tickets, sporting gear and gift certificates - with a top open division cash prize of $50. Refreshments and a fire for warming up at the finish. |
| History |
Recorded from a Juneau Empire preview article and its course map. No results were published there. Forty-two finishers are recorded, from the Empire's results in five divisions. The paper's overall-placing column runs to 43, and numbers 8, 26, 28 and 41 appear in none of the five, so at least four more people finished whose names are not in the clipping. Dave Michael won in 48:33. Two pairs are shown as ties on the same overall place: Joe Smith and Jean Smith, 27th on 1:04.29 in different divisions, and Jim Buckley and Adam Bernstein, 40th on 1:12.10. |
