I have looked all over and could not find the complete results. Saw top 20 or so of the state teams in 1989 the second year. Malmo, I see you were the second leg for Oregon that year.

I was in charge of the MI team in '88: think we were 13th - don't recall the time. We were 6th in '89 - 2:06.
Meant to add: if malmo doesn't have the results, the NYRRC should - they put on the thing.
NYRRC was dry. Found results for a Bagle Run and something called a Gay Pride Run both in 88,89. No Eikeden relay.
Try searching for "ekiden." The right spelling might help you find what you're looking for.
I'm going to ask some of the NYRR folks at tomorrow's NYC Half where old results might be stored. 1988/89 was pre-electronic/online, but I'm sure they appeared in a subsequent issue of NY Running News, the NYRR house organ. They have a complete set of those in the library at the club.

''This is going to become an annual race,'' an ebullient Mayor Koch announced at the finish line, describing the New York City Marathon and what he now likes to think of as the New York City Ekiden as ''two of the most important races in the world.''
Although comparatively few Americans saw the race on television (it was broacast live on cable by ESPN), it was seen by millions of viewers in Japan, where it started at 9 P.M.

I once went to 89th Street and asked to see the old copies in the "library". I was told they were long gone. Apparently, NYRR needed space so it tossed all of the old magazines with race results. Sounds absurd, I know, but that's what I've been told, although apparently some folks have copies of the old mags. I've been too lazy to follow up. Of course, there's no way to check on whether I was as fast as I say I was.
As to the Ekiden, NYCRuns puts one on in December in Central Park, but with 4 runners doing 3.4, 6, 5, 1.7.
