2024 Report

October 26, 2024 • Quantico, VA

88 starters, 78 finishers

The 2024 PB&J 25k / 50k was once again greeted with perfect running conditions (how do we get so lucky?!). With peak fall colors, a light breeze, and temps in the low 70s, most runners had a smile on their face the entire day. We love to see it!

Both events sold out in mere weeks and we held a waitlist up until a week before the run. With 88 starters and 78 finishers across both events, our field was on par with past years.

Records fall in the 25k
In his first PB&J, Ethan Ready set a new course record in a remarkable 1:48, besting the previous course record by 32 minutes. Tyler Koon placed second in 2:12 with Adam Rasmussen following on his heels in 2:19, good enough for third place.

On the women’s side, Laura Berlin took the field in a speedy 2:43. Carol Cohen, a regular on the PB&J scene, placed second in 2:51, and Emily Gibson placed third in 2:58.

The 25k saw a notable number of first-time runners in this particular event. We hope the day proved to be a great success no matter your goals!

Impressive showings in the 50k
First time PB&Jer Paul Jacobs is no stranger to ultramarathons. He won this year’s event in 4:12, just eight minutes behind the course record of 4:04. John Oplinger and Dennis Chavez rounded out the men’s field in an impressive 5:02 and 5:04, respectively.

Jade Graham stole the women’s field in 5:42 with Llewelyn Engle just a few minutes back in six hours flat. Lindsay Weaver ran 6:09, placing third in a competitive women’s field.

Similar to the 25k, the 50k included many first-time PB&J participants with several first-time ultra runners. Hopefully, we’ll see repeat runners next year with even more notable accomplishments!

Volunteers: the lifeline of our events
The generosity of VHTRC members is known throughout the region and our PB&J volunteers fall squarely in that box. Our volunteers took on huge tasks from course marking, to registration, to aid station support, to course sweeping, and everything in between - we certainly could not have this event without them. Some of our volunteers ran before volunteering (a heckuva day) and others brought surprise treats for the field (such as the delicious cornbread that complimented the post-run chili). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
