"There are 3,000 runners on the street this evening!" bellowed Tallahassee's Mayor Marks from the podium before the run. Then after a pause, "I've been told that there are 7,000 runners entered! We've grown by 4,000 in the last two minutes!"
You don't have to be Santa to be a jolly old elf.
Local high school cross-country start took the top spots in 2009 and 2010. 2011 was no exception, as Wakulla High senior Stanley Linton sped across the finish line first in 9:57. Less than nine hours earlier, Linton had been racing in the annual FACA Senior All-Star Cross-Country Meet, where he had placed twelfth. Stefanie Kurgatt, a junior on the cross-country squad at Maclay School, was the first female finisher, running 12:18.
