Flannigan's Run, on Douglas Island. Both races are in the Empire Cup Runners Series. 1990 was the first year for the 1-mile run.
History Eighth annual, Saturday 17 March 1990, from the Mt. Jumbo Gym on Douglas Island. A record field of 86 runners; the Empire noted the previous high was 50, in 1983. "Whether it was the Empire Cup Runners Series, a new desire for fitness, a population increase or just great weather," the paper wrote, the race filled up.
Winners, five miles. Fastest of the day: Rick Thibodeau 25:56, who had won the men's division of the inaugural Empire Cup series in 1989. Fastest woman: Jami Ries 34:32. Men's masters: Glenn Frick 29:10, the 12th-fastest among all the male runners, with Art Peterson second in 35:04. Men's 60-plus: Mike Miller 48:15, from Elmer Ignell.
Ries: "It was a nice surprise. I'm not really into racing, I like to train for the health of it. I guess I just had a good day. I've been running for eons, and if things go well I stick with it. But I also like to do different fitness activities." She added that she usually is not a competitive runner.
One mile, held for the first time in 1990. Women: Betsy Hamilton 9:11. Men: Sam McPhetres, a high school runner, 6:35. Girls: Janelle Billingslea 9:16. Boys 13-and-under, all sub-9-minute: Jeffrey Early 8:20, Glen Aronson 8:28, Stephen Brooks 8:36, Paul Ecklund 8:38.
Six-year-old Robbie Roberts earned six Empire Cup points over the full five miles, finishing in 61:02 - the same time as Wayne Roberts, 18th in the men's 40-49.
Times: six are printed with a final digit the scan does not carry, the ink having bled where 0, 8 and 9 share a shape, and each row is stored at the start of its ten-second window with a note. They are Phil Moritz, Rai Bennert and Michael Knapp in the men's 40-49, Sue Scott in the women's 30-39, Tim McCorcle in the men's 20-29 and Bruce Aronson in the men's 30-39. None can have finished out of the order printed.
Two further notes: the finish list gives Jami Ries 34:32 where the report of the same day says 34:42, and the list is what is stored. The list prints Connie McKenzie's surname as "McKenize" where the standings table beside it prints "McKenzie".
