| Event Name | May Day Mud Run 1988 |
| Race Name | 7.9 Mile |
| Event Location | Hospital Drive, Juneau to Fish Creek, North Douglas |
| Event Description | Distance: about 7.9 miles - the rules require no set course across the mudflats Location: Hospital Drive, finishing at Fish Creek on North Douglas Start Time: 8:00 AM Race Director: Jerry Buckley Andy Grossman won in 45:09 after one of the strangest finishes the race has had - he and Kelly Miller ran the last 50 yards directly at one another and crossed almost simultaneously from opposite directions, and the judges gave it to Grossman. Both are held at 45:09. The time broke the course record of 46:11 that Al Graves set in 1986. Grossman won it by leaving the mud. He had studied aerial maps, cut out of the wetlands at Nine Mile Creek Road about a mile from Fish Creek, and finished on the North Douglas Highway. "Avoiding mud for highway is not cheating," he said - "it is exactly what race-organizer Jerry Buckley had in mind. The nice thing about the mud run is that it is a point-to-point race. The elegance is that you can try to find a better way to reach the finish line." Miller, who had led on the established route, kept the record "for what will from this point on be called the old course". Marylyn Barnwell won the women's division in 52:35. Glenn Frick, who had won the 1987 race in 47:02, ran within four seconds of that pace and finished sixth - the shortcut took nearly four minutes off the winning time. |

| Race Distance | 7.90 miles or 12.71 km |
| Race Blurb | Thirty-eight of the 39 finishers appear here. The 39th, Kelly Denny, is published 34th at 49:14 in a list that runs 66:04 at 33rd and 69:04 at 35th, and the paper sets that one line in italics. One of the two figures is wrong and there is no way to tell which, so the time is not held. |
