And when the 3.1-mile road race was over, Jaren Hill had won, running 21:08. Americus master runner Charlene Pennymon was the women's champ, placing sixth overall in 23:43. 81 athletes finished the race.


Jaren Hill had run cross-country for Americus-Sumter High, graduating from the school in 2015. Mitchell Sinyard was the fastest master runner in the Jog And Jam, finishing second just behind Hill in 21:30. Kevin Richmond of Cobb, Georgia edged Chris Phillips for third, 22:36 to 22:37.
