The third Bay to Glaciers Charity Fun Run, with the proceeds going to the Juneau Special Olympics. Entries opened at noon on Friday 1 August, and again from 8:00 on the morning.
The 20 dollar entry bought a way back: those runners floated down the Mendenhall River and were then bussed from the takeout at Brotherhood Bridge to Auke Bay School, with a clothesmobile carrying warm clothes to the river so nobody had to float in what they had run in. Everyone else went back from the finish by Gray Line motor coach.
Prizes went to the first three men, the first three women, every 25th finisher and the craziest costume, and every entrant went into a drawing for a return flight for two to San Francisco from Alaska Airlines, a weekend for two to Skagway on the M.V. Fairweather from Holland America Westours, and a Mendenhall float trip for two from Alaska Travel Adventures.
Sponsored by Alaska Airlines, Alaska Travel Adventures, the Juneau Empire and Westours. No results are held for this running. |
