Mendenhall Glacier parking lot, Juneau November 7th 1992 (Saturday) 10:00AM | Eight kilometre road race, the traditional close of the Juneau running season. The course ran from the Mendenhall Glacier parking lot, around Mendenhall River School and back to the glacier - 4.97 miles. Organised by Craig Farrington and sponsored by the Southeast Road Runners. The run had been cancelled for the previous three years because of weather and was staged regardless in 1992; 34 people started and all of them finished. Not an Empire Cup event this year - adding it to the Cup series was a stated goal for the following year. SOURCE AND COMPLETENESS: results are taken from the Juneau Empire of 10 November 1992, "Veterans Day run caps local running season" by Greta Gard. The article names only 15 of the 34 finishers and gives times for 13, so the results below are a PARTIAL field rather than the full one. Jeremy Collie and Jerry Buckley are named as finishers but no time was printed for either, so they are not listed. Times shown are as printed.

Sandy Beach, Savikko Park, Douglas August 8th 1992 (Saturday) 8:00AM | Distance: 26.2 miles, 13.1 miles and 8 kilometers Location: Sandy Beach, Savikko Park, Douglas Start Time: 8:00 AM for the marathon, 9:00 AM for the half-marathon and 8K Race Director: Bob Deal Registration Fee: 5 dollars, or 6 for the half and 8K on the day 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, with eight or nine aid stations. The first Frank Maier Memorial Marathon, and the first certified marathon ever run in Juneau. It remembers 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 qualify runners for marathons with a time standard, Boston among them. It 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 finishing 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 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.
