The Trojan Trot 5K was held Saturday in St. Leon.

(St. Leon, Ind.) – Ean Loichinger may run away with the 2018 Southeastern Indiana Racing Circuit men’s title.

The Trojan Trot was the second of five races in the SIRC-it. Loichinger also won the opening race in Milan on July 7. His combined time after two races is 33:03, nearly five minutes ahead of second place Dwayne Steele, 40, of Seymour.
