| History |
Sunday 30 April 1995, over a seven-mile long course and a three-mile short one. 81 finished. Course: keeping to the run's off-road tradition, the long course required runners to pick their own fastest trail route between start and finish. "There were plenty of natural and man-made barriers to entertain even the hardiest runner," the Empire wrote, "and it only took a few seconds for some runners to hit the first one." Winners, long course: Guy Thibodeau 42 minutes 32 seconds, from Laddie Shaw 45:19 and Jerry Buckley 45:27. Fastest woman: Dawn Rider 58:50. Winners, three miles: Paul Pusich 23:45, with Shane Quigley 27:08 and Camdon Toohey 28:55. First woman: Josee Leclerc of Whitehorse, Yukon, 29:35. The sixth-placed man ran into a fence. Phil Moritz: "I followed Guy right into a chain-link fence at the start." He and others had followed Thibodeau along a dirt trail right at the starting line; it led straight to a fence, with Thibodeau nowhere to be seen. "Ben (Van Alen) and I thought we were in first and second place until we saw them - Thibodeau, Shaw and Buckley - at the finish line. We didn't pass them, and we didn't think there was another route." Van Alen finished fifth and Moritz sixth. Held here: 81. No field total is printed, but both lists run consecutively from first place with no gaps, and every one of the eight times the report quotes agrees with the list. Names: one runner in the short course is printed with an initial for a given name, as "S Fisher", and is recorded that way. Jerry Buckley is held under the spelling the archive already carries for him, Gerald. Sources: "Experience is key in May Day Mud Run" by Richard F. Schmitz, Juneau Empire; and the finish lists, Monday 1 May 1995, page 10, headed "Results of the annual May Day Mud Run, April 30". |
