Governor's Cup Fun Run

Location: start at the Capitol Building, finish at the Tlingit Haida Community Center near Salmon Creek
Start Time: 9:00 AM
Registration Fee: 5 dollars
The Governor's Cup Fun Run, sponsored by the Juneau City-Borough Parks and Recreation Department. 477 runners registered and the Empire printed placings to 435. Guy Thibodeau was first across the finish line in 15:15. The advert says runners would "follow the same course as last year", so there was a 1981 running; the first 450 to register were promised T-shirts.
THE RESULTS ARE INCOMPLETE AND THE PAPER SAYS SO. The caption to the photograph of the start ends: the Parks and Recreation Department "this year didn't compile complete race results. Parks and Recreation is emphasizing the fun in the run." Nine place numbers are simply not printed - 63, 65, 68, 80, 165, 166, 181, 184 and 200 - leaving 426 lines, of which eleven read "No tag" or "No number" and name nobody. Those eleven are not imported; 415 named finishers are. Several runners appear as an initial and a surname, or a surname alone, exactly as printed.
Five printed times run backwards against the finish order and are stored as printed, each with a note on its row.
No distance is printed in the 1982 clippings, and the course map carries no scale. It is three miles on the authority of the year before: the advert says runners would "follow the same course as last year", and the Empire of 13 July 1981 reports Paul Pusich leading "the field of 405 runners for almost the entire three-mile distance" from the Capitol Building to the Tlingit and Haida Center. The 1986 running, recorded here from a separate clipping, gives three miles from the same start. | DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned | 1982-07-10 09:00:00 | no | no | yes | Registration Form |
