Empire Cup organiser Richard Schmitz arranged the awards. Coffee mugs listing the sponsors - Juneau Parks and Recreation, Southeast Road Runners and the Juneau Empire - were offered first-come first-served, due to arrive in mid-December.

Distributed from 15 November to the Juneau Racquet Club, Foggy Mountain, Mountain Gears, Adventure Sports, Fitness Plus, the Juneau Empire and all Juneau Parks and Recreation outlets. Compiled with Zach Gordon Youth Center manager Wendy Marriott.

Events listed further afield included the Kluane to Chilkat Bike Relay out of Haines in June and the Buckwheat Ski Classic near Skagway in March.
SOURCE: Juneau Empire, 10 November 1995, "Special Events Calandar due to arrive next week" by Mike Sica. Note that the clipping disagrees with itself on the date: its subheading says Thursday 16 November while the body says Saturday 18 November, 6 PM at the Yacht Club. Both were real 1995 dates. The body is followed here because it is the more specific of the two. | DefaultRaceDirector Unassigned | 1995-11-18 18:00:00 | no | no | yes | Registration Form |
