Congratulations to Jane and Steve Lanford for laying out a challenging new
course on the flanks of Murphy Dome. The just over 8 miles of uphill, over back
roads a few of which were inches deep in silty powder, followed by 2 3/4 miles
of steep descent down Murphy Dome Road to the start, was sufficient to get
everyone's circulation going. Sub 6-minute times in the steep 10th mile were
not uncommon. Views along the upper sections of the course were great, both
upwards towards the old Air Force site on the top of Murphy Dome, and
southwestwards over Goldstream Valley towards the Alaska Range.
The cool temperatures plus the wind in the exposed upper reaches of the
course, provided for some fast times in the first running of this race. Kent
Slaughter was the overall winner with a time of 68:16 while Michelle Mitchell
topped the women with 78:11.
