Mendenhall Glacier parking lot, Juneau June 10th 1978 (Saturday) 9:00AM | Distance: 10 miles and 6 miles Location: Mendenhall Glacier parking lot Start Time: 9:00 AM Registration Fee: 1 dollar A road run held by Juneau Parks and Recreation. The six mile course ran from the Glacier parking lot to Auke Bay School; the ten mile went along the back Loop Road and finished back at the Glacier. Refreshments afterwards, and a certificate for every finisher. Aimed at occasional joggers as much as at racers. "We want to encourage people who are occasional joggers to come," said coordinator Mary Hakala, a marathon runner who had raced in Europe and at Boston. "It's not so much fun to run alone." The second in a series of summer events organized jointly by the Taku Striders and Juneau Parks and Recreation, and promoted as training for the department's own marathon that July.

University of Alaska campus, Auke Lake April 30th 1978 (Sunday) 8:00AM | Distance: 10 miles Location: the University of Alaska campus at Auke Lake, south around the Mendenhall Loop Road Start Time: 8:00 AM The second Magnificent Mendenhall Mudpuddle Meet, co-sponsored by the University of Alaska and the Juneau Parks and Recreation Department as a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. Entrants collected sponsors pledging per mile completed, with no minimum, and a runner could sponsor themselves. Free t-shirts went to the first 60 finishers, refreshments were laid on at the five-mile checkpoint, and a Parks and Recreation van patrolled the course to offer a ride to anyone who tired early. A new perpetual trophy, designed by Julie Jacobson, an art student at J-DCC, went on permanent display at the University with the winners' names engraved on its base.
