Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Jason Weitzel and Noah Fisher placed 3rd and 4th overall in the 2025 Hardeeville Half Marathon on Sunday morning in Hardeeville, SC. Running on the same course as the 2021 USATF Half Marathon Championships, Weitzel ran faster than the previous South Carolina Half Marathon record of 1:04:14 ( held by Greenville's James Quattlebaum) by running 1:03:59. However, today Quattlebaum finished first in the race and set a new SCSR of 1:03:36. Flagstaff, Arizona's Jacob Thompson was second with a time of 1:03:50. Fisher, running his first professional half marathon, ran much of the race solo but closed well over the final kilometers to place fourth with a time of 1:04:21 (4:54 per mile pace). Weitzel earned $1250 and Fisher $900 for their placings on a warm morning of 65 degrees with 94% humidity. Those atypical conditions for November contributed to somewhat slower times for the sweat-drenched runners. JP Trojan of Minnesota Distance Elite was 5th in 1:04:56 and ZAP Endurance's Dan Schaffer 6th in 1:05:35. 2025 Hardeeville Half Marathon Top Male Finishers Per USATF rules, road racing times are rounded up to the next integral second.
