May Day Mud Scramble
| Fish Creek | 1st May Day Mud Scramble aka Springtide Scramble. Promoted by John Ingalls as a promotional event for a Queen Ida Concert. Race sponsored in 1981 and 1982. in 1983 Jerry Buckley introduced the race to the local running club and SERR has sponsored it ever since.
The two divisional winners below are reported in the Empire's preview of the second annual race a year later: "Last year Guy Thibodeau swept the men's division with a time of 47 minutes and 23 seconds while Mary Hakala took the women's division in 59 minutes and 13 seconds." The rest of the 1981 field is not recorded. The same preview describes calamity at this first running, when one runner looked for a short cut and ended up in chest deep water and another lost one of his 80 dollar running shoes in the mud. | John Ingalls | 1981-05-02 09:00:00 | no | yes | yes | Registration Form |
