| Event Name | Juneau Marathon 1973 |
| Race Name | Marathon |
| Event Location | Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau |
| Event Description | Distance: 26 miles 385 yards Location: Mendenhall Glacier Start Time: 7:00 AM Race Director: Floyd Strain Juneau's third annual marathon, two laps of the Loop Road including the leg to the Glacier, beginning and ending there. The first year at the official distance. Meet director Floyd Strain reported that the course had been surveyed and was "now certified as an official marathon", with about 150 yards added to the old course. The 1971 and 1972 races were therefore run slightly short. Medals went to the first three in each of six divisions: men's, women's, high school boys' and girls', and junior high boys' and girls'. All runners were asked to have a doctor's examination before entering, and juvenile entrants to bring a note from a parent confirming a physical exam within the past year. Run by Juneau Parks and Recreation. No results are held for this running. |
