Olivier Leblond wins overall with a time of 17:01:45. The women came out this year ready to take the course. 3 women finish in the top 10. While 10 of them finished in 28 hours. The weather was not looking promising leading into the event, calling for thunderstorms all day and night. However, it held out for most of the day on Saturday. Leaving the rain to come in starting around 10pm Saturday night and would not ease up until early morning. If the race started 4 hours later we would have been swimming more than running, as Passage Creek flooded Fort Valley by 11am on Sunday.

This year we moved to online registration and sold out the race weeks leading up the event. See more 2018 photos on our Facebook page.
