| Description | Distance: 26 miles Location: Mendenhall Glacier The second Juneau Parks and Recreation marathon of 1972, run through driving winds and heavy rain. Guy Thibodeau won in 2:53:46, which the Empire noted was "a mere three seconds off Jack Beedle's record set in the first marathon" - the June race. Carol Hogins took the women's record with 3:31:10, undercutting Pat Watson by nearly 20 minutes, and five-year-old Kevin Strain set an age-group record. John Beedle had the fastest junior high time at 3:26:32. Thibodeau's Market provided refreshments and volunteers kept time at the checkpoints. Three men are recorded as finishing with no time taken: Jack Beedle, John Sanchez and Mark Rosier. The Empire's own text gives Kevin Strain 6:56:39 while its results table gives 6:59:39. The value held here is 6:56:39, which is what was already on file. DATE AND YEAR: this event was previously dated 1971-05-15, holding Jack Beedle's 2:53:43. That is the JUNE 1972 winning time to within half a second, and his result has been moved to the June race accordingly. The Empire of 30 August 1972 reports this race as having been run "Saturday", which is 26 August. No source has been found for a 1971 marathon, and the August 1972 report describes the June 1972 race as the first. |
