Eight kilometre run from the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, 10:00 AM start. The traditional close of the Southeast Roadrunners season. Recorded from a Juneau Empire calendar listing.

Frank Maier Marathon
Savikko Park (Sandy Beach) Douglas.
August 7th 1993 (Saturday) 8:00AM
Start Time: 8:00 AM Location: Sandy Beach, Savikko Park, Douglas Distances: 26.2 miles and 13.1 miles Race Director: Bob Deal Course: out and back from Sandy Beach to the end of the Douglas Highway. The second running, and both course records fell. John Snoozy of Lincoln, Nebraska, running for the National Guard Marathon Team, won in 2:44:14 and took nearly half an hour off the mark set the year before. Jim Douglas was second in 2:45:56, the only Juneau runner in the top six, and Kevin McAllister of the Bronx third in 2:46:58. Dawn Rider set a women's record by about ten minutes, finishing in 3:28:42 - and entered on the Friday night, right before registration closed, having heard a radio report about the marathon. "I just decided to do it," she said. She had planned to run the half-marathon. "I was shooting for a finish time between 3:30 and four hours. So I did pretty well." Three weeks earlier she had completed the 28-mile Crow Pass Wilderness Marathon near Anchorage. Snoozy found the course harder than it looks to anyone who drives it. "There is a lot of up-downhill, and if you do not run it right you waste a lot of time early. I ran with Jim for the first half, and he was giving me hints about what to do. The name of the game is to run with people. That is the thing with marathoners." Douglas, who missed a personal best by about two minutes, had meant it as a training run for Portland "but I just could not resist. I led for the first two miles, but I saw no sense in me leading, so we ran together for about 13 miles - then he came on real strong. He is a good runner." The marathon drew 26 entrants and 25 finished, more than tripling the first year's turnout, with nine runners from outside Juneau. Ten came with the National Guard team, which competes against the other armed services in three races a year. Rick Janowicz of Whitehorse ran his third marathon of the year here - Boston in 3:22, Whitehorse in 3:28, and 3:33 in Juneau: "So I am getting worse." Ray Scharenbrock of Milwaukee read about the race in Runners World, flew up to run it, and marked his 60th birthday by finishing in 4:27:51. The Douglas Island Half-Marathon ran the same morning and drew 62 finishers. (87 records)DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned

Jerry Boyd won the mile in 5:54, one second ahead of Joe Koch. 54 ran the 10K and 51 the mile. The mile was plainly a family race - the last three finishers took over 25 minutes - and it drew almost as many runners as the 10K. (105 records)DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned
