Gibson was so far ahead of the rest of the field that he might have been getting lonely on the streets of Dothan; by the time he finished the ten-kilometer race he had a lead of nearly a kilometer and a half on the next runner. It was Gibson's third Trot With S.W.A.T. win; in addition to the 2016 race he had also won the inaugural Trot in 2007.
Eric Bernard was second in the 10K in 46:23. Master runner Bernardo Defarro was third overall in 46:33.
Tabatha Murdock edged Krystal Sheerun for the runner-up spot in the women's standings, 55:03 to 55:04. Murdock and Sheerun placed nineteenth and twentieth overall. Kristi Holland was the top woman master and fourth female finisher, 21st overall in 55:44.
