It must have taken some resolution for 34 athletes to show up on a cold Saturday morning, 13 January 2018, to run a five-kilometer race on the streets of Valdosta, Georgia. But it was, after all, the second annual Resolution 5K. Showing the most resolve was Tanner Bryan, a marathoner currently living in Sterling, Virginia. Bryan won the race in 19:14, finishing more than 600 meters ahead of the next runner. Jordan Lamothe of Valdosta was the first woman in the 5K, placing fourth overall in 23:32.David Delgado of Hahira, Georgia finished second to Bryan, running 21:58. Jose Salinas of Douglas, Georgia was the top master runner in the Resolution 5K, placing third overall in 23:03.
Jodi Stuckey of Moultrie, Georgia was second in the women's standings and sixth overall in 25:41. Another Moultrie athlete, Mary Sue Thompson, was the third woman and ninth overall in 26:57. Valdosta's Katrina Amundson was the top woman master and sixth female finisher, fifteenth overall in 31:42.
