Location Juneau
Description Distance: 5 kilometers and 10 kilometers
Location: Juneau
The Ken Humphreys Memorial Run, two Empire Cup Runners Series races, with a wheelchair division over the 5 km.
History First running, Saturday 22 July 1989. A hundred and thirty-three finishers between the 5 km and the 10 km, in what the Empire called a large field.
Winners. 10 km: Steve Schmitz 33:54, from Alan Graves and Ben Van Alen. 10 km women: Shelly James 38:33. 5 km: John Van Veldhiuzen, visiting from South Dakota, 19:17, with Ron Taug seven seconds behind and Dave Avila third. 5 km men's 19-and-under: Charles Humphreys. Morgan Humphreys was eighth among the 10 km women.
Second place, 5 km: Taug had been a three-pack-a-day smoker three years earlier. His first race was the 1986 Governor's Cup, 103rd in 25:49; he came down to 25:06 in 1987 and 24:08 in 1988. "I was hoping to catch him in the last stretch. I put on a kick in the last three-quarter mile, but I didn't have enough left. I've cut time off every one of my races this year. My goal is to get down to six-minute miles, and I'm almost there."
Date: the report gives only "Saturday" and the scan is cropped above its masthead. The results were published on 11 August, which would point at 5 August - but that is the day of the Juneau Half and Quarter Marathon, and thirty-three runners appear in both fields. The date here is the club's, supplied by the site owner.
Times: five are printed as minutes past the hour rather than in hours - 76.20, 70.05 and 96.46 - and are recorded as 1:16:20, 1:10:05 and 1:36:46. Scott McPherson is printed under a heading of his own as the wheelchair entrant over 5 km. Among the 10 km women, eighth place is three minutes slower than ninth; both are stored as printed.
