| Description | Distance: 26.2 miles Location: Washington D.C. The 22nd Marine Corps Marathon - not a Southeast Road Runners race, but the club's end-of-season trip for 1997, and eleven Juneau runners took part. The year before they had gone to New York. The course began near Arlington National Cemetery, wound through Georgetown, past the monuments and the Capitol Mall, and finished back near Arlington at the Iwo Jima Memorial. It was 40 degrees with steady chilling rain, which the Juneau contingent enjoyed rather more than most. "Around Mile 17 we noticed runners not used to the cold rubbing on Ben Gay," said Nancy Thomas. "Needless to say, the Juneau runners felt right at home." Steff Thomas was the top local finisher, 1,589th overall in 3:31. Vice President Al Gore also ran, finishing in 4:55 - behind every one of the Juneau runners. |

| Marathon | 26.2 miles | 11 | Only the eleven Juneau runners the Empire named are listed; the marathon itself had a field in the tens of thousands, and their places ran from 1,589th to 9,253rd. Times were published only to the minute, so the seconds shown are zeros rather than measurements. Race-day weather is not recorded for this event, because the service used covers Southeast Alaska and would have stored Juneau conditions against a race in Virginia. |
