In United States road racing, right after the last Turkey Trot is run, the calendar changes from November to December, and the schedule fills up with Jingle Bell Runs. Oh, there's a Frosty 5K here and there, and some Red Nose Runs, but there are nearly as many Jingle Bell Runs in December as there are Turkey Trots in November. Fort Walton Beach, Florida breaks that pattern with the Egg Nog Jog. Nearly 200 athletes gathered at Uptown Station on Saturday morning, 22 December 2018, for the nineteenth annual Egg Nog Jog 5K.Nathan Isaacs won the 3.1-mile race in 16:32, finishing just ahead of the 16:38 posted by the runner-up, Steven Cornelius. Master runner Christine Westcott was the women's champ, placing sixth overall in 20:12.
Behind Isaacs and Cornelius, Phillip Bauer took third in 18:01. Bauer had also placed third in the 2017 Egg Nog Jog. David Waid was the fastest master runner in the race, beating out 2017's top master Ken Lawrence, 18:47 to 19:03. Waid and Lawrence were fourth and fifth overall.
Master runner Lisa Lewis was the runner-up on the women's side, coming in eighth overall in 20:41. Thirteen-year-old Gracie Atkinson of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a cross-country runner at Presbyterian Christian School, took third in the women's standings, placing fifteenth overall in 21:58.
173 athletes finished the 2018 Egg Nog Jog 5K.
