The Juneau Half and Quarter Marathon, two Empire Cup Runners Series races run together on the same morning.
History The 1989 Juneau Half and Quarter Marathon, Saturday 5 August. Eighty-two finishers between the two races.

Steve Schmitz won the half in 1:12:16 from Alan Graves in 1:14:00 and Glenn Frick three seconds behind him. Shelly James was the first woman in 1:25:03, which would have placed her ninth in the men's race. Rick Thibodeau won the quarter marathon in 34:46, and Dawn Rider led the women in 44:32.

SOURCE: Juneau Empire, Friday 11 August 1989, page 10, printing each race by sex.

ON THE SERIES. The archive's CBJ Juneau Marathon runs from 1972 to 1988 and stops there, its last four runnings falling on 10, 9, 8 and 13 August. This race is 5 August 1989 in the same town, and it is filed with them so that a reader looking for Juneau's August distance race in 1989 finds it. That is where the evidence ends: the clipping does not call it the CBJ Juneau Marathon, and there is no full marathon in it.

NOTES ON THE LIST. Two ties are printed, each correctly - the same place given twice with the next number skipped. Karen Laquaglia and Kimberly Helmar shared 12th among the quarter marathon women on 58:32, and Lach Zemp and Doug Weaver shared 21st in the half on 1:32:21. Those last two are the pair the Douglas Two-Mile had printed on a single line five weeks earlier with one time between them, which makes a mangled tie the likelier reading of that line - though it is not proof, and those rows are unchanged. Mark Peterson's 33rd place is three seconds faster than the 32nd and is stored as printed.
