The Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon saw ideal running weather under cloudy skies on Sunday, May 19. Over 3,700 participants took to the historic streets of Fredericksburg and tackled the challenging Hospital Hill. The event celebrated 3,729 finishers from 46 states, the District of Columbia, and 14 countries.
The highlight of the “Greatest Half in History” was Samuel Yakulis, Jr., a 20-year-old from Stafford, who claimed victory with a time of 01:13:27. “I’ve done the five miles in recent years, but with that being discontinued, I decided to move up and give it a shot,” said Yakulis in a press release. Last year, Yakulis won the Semper 5ive with the second-fastest time in the event’s history at 26:34.
Jonathan Ladson, 32, from Woodbridge, finished just over a minute behind Yakulis with a time of 1:14:33. James Erickson, 38, from Woodberry Forest, Virginia, secured third place with a time of 1:15:55.
