Sheryl Rosen led the women's field from wire-to-wire, but that's what you would expect of a runner who finished a 9.3-mile race with a 1.3-mile lead. That's how far Rosen was ahead of the women's runner up, 2010 Turkey Trot 15K champion Allison Eagen. Eagen ended the race 34th overall in 66:44. At 67:15 Karen Geletko was the third woman finisher. Jane Johnson ran 67:19 to finish as the first woman master for what may have been the 11th time--it's hard to keep track, especially when three of those top master finishes were among the four years that Johnson won the women's division outright.

The sheer number of runners was unprecedented for Tallahassee, with almost 6,000 trying to crowd into Southwood. If you’re planning on running next year, make a note to arrive early. And if you’re planning on competing with the likes of Chris Lake next year, make a note to start training now.
