Yoder and Yesian yield to no one at Dothan's SACF Half-Marathon

A half-marathon is 13.1 miles. At the seventh annual Southeast Alabama Community Foundation Half Marathon, John Yoder had finished those 13.1 miles before all but one of the other runners had gone even twelve miles. Yoder won that race in Dothan, Alabama on Saturday morning, 27 January 2018, in 1:25:23. Master runner Bonnie Yesian of Austin, Texas--an eleven-time finisher of the Boston Marathon--won the women's title, placing sixth overall in 1:35:55. 86 athletes finished the half marathon.


David Perales was second in the race at 1:31:22. Tracey Burch was the fastest master runner in the half marathon, placing third overall in 1:32:40. Master runner Bobby Sattaahn took fourth in 1:34:16, and Sean Kent was fifth in 1:34:35. Kent was the overall winner of the SACF Half-Marathon in 2012 and 2014.


Master runner Olga Elliott was the second woman and nineteenth overall in 1:50:43. Alexandi McCambell was third in the women's standings and twentieth overall in 1:51:05.
