- Jonah Weeks, 1:38:33 (7:31/mi) — won F35-39 by over 22 minutes and held 5th among all women from start to finish, closing with the 4th-fastest women's split on the final stretch.
- Jessica Trevisan, 2:01:24 — runner-up in F35-39, climbing from 24th to 17th among women with a strong final push, including the 13th-fastest women's closing split.
- Rebecca Bestoso, 2:03:47 vs. Alina Nikiforova, 2:04:34 — just 47 seconds separated 3rd from 4th, with Bestoso holding position while Nikiforova charged through the second half.
- Rosa M and Emma Fletcher, 2:18:14 and 2:18:15 — one second apart at 8th and 9th in F35-39 after 13.1 miles in the Folsom heat.
Jonah Weeks, 35, turned this into a one-woman show. Crossing in 1:38:33 at a 7:31/mi clip, she sat 5th among all women at every checkpoint tracked — no drift, no drama, just a locked-in effort that put her more than 22 minutes clear of the entire F35-39 field. She capped it with the 4th-fastest women's closing split from Mile 10 to the finish, suggesting she had something left even at the end of a warm November day in Folsom.
Behind her, Jessica Trevisan turned in the most dynamic race in the group. Starting 24th among women, she steadily reeled in competitors and finished 17th — a net gain of seven places across the women's field — crossing in 2:01:24. Her 13th-fastest closing split among women confirmed that the second half was where she found her legs. Rebecca Bestoso (2:03:47) and Alina Nikiforova (2:04:34) made it a genuine battle for the final podium spot, separated by just 47 seconds. Bestoso held a steady position throughout, while Nikiforova was the stronger finisher, posting the 19th-fastest women's split on the second half — but she ran out of road before she could close the gap entirely.
The middle of the F35-39 field delivered its own subplot. Rosa M and Emma Fletcher — both from Sacramento — ran the entire half marathon to finish in 2:18:14 and 2:18:15 respectively, one second apart after more than two hours of racing. Elen Lee (2:10:20) rounded out the top five, climbing from 38th to 29th among women and posting the 24th-fastest closing split to close on a strong note. All 21 finishers completed the course under conditions that were warm for November — 74°F with humidity — making every finish worth the effort.
