22 March 2023 Tallahassee 100-Mile Race Calendar

This is the Tallahassee vicinity road-race schedule for 22 March 2023. If that's more than a week ago, the latest schedule is always available via this link:

This is a listing of upcoming races within 100 miles of Tallahassee, Florida, roughly the region in the map below. If a race isn't listed, I probably haven't heard of it, so post a comment and let me know about it.
Races are being abruptly canceled or rescheduled due to COVID-19, so if a race is farther
away than across the street, it is more important than ever to confirm that the event is
actually taking place. Also, please make sure that you are comfortable with whatever
hygienic protocols an event has in place. Be safe, and smooth trails!

Tallahassee area track meets in 2023


2023 Tallahassee Area Track & Field Schedule


2022 Midde School track & field action at Leon High

Here's a list of track meets in the Tallahassee area during the upcoming 2023 outdoor season. These are mostly limited to middle school, high school, and college events, so you won't see any all-comers meets here, or exotics like the Breakfast On The Track. I've also limited the list to Leon County and its immediate neighbors. There are more than 30 meets listed here, and I may have missed a few. That's still more than any fan can possibly attend, but you should try to make it to a few. If you know of an event that I haven't listed, please let me know and I'll add it. I may even go watch.

Kent Posey and Roxana Bergstrom win Moultrie's second annual Saint Patty 5K

There are some athletes who have the misfortune to be living in a city with no Saint Patrick's Day road race. That's not the case for the folks in Moultrie, Georgia. They had the second annual Saint Patty K, a five-kilometer event with a one-mile fun run, on Saturday morning, 18 March 2022, starting near Colquitt Regional Medical Center. In a showdown of two of Moultrie's own, Dr. Kent Posey edged master runner Dr. Lee McGill for first place, 21:13 to 21:16. Roxana Bergstrom of Valdosta, Georgia was the first woman in the race, placing thirteenth overall in 26:03.


After the Posey-McGill duel, 15-year-old Amicah Carroll of Norman Park took third in 22:32.


A younger Posey, eleven-year-old Savannah Posey, placed second in the women's standings, coming in sixteenth overall in 27:58. The first woman master and third female finisher was Susan Hutchinson of Sylvester, Georgia, eighteenth overall in 29:11.


41 athletes finished the 5K at the 2023 Saint Patty K. The race was a benefit for the Colquitt Regional Medical Foundation. Event Technical Services, Inc., of Sylvester, Georgia timed and scored the race.

Joel Scott and Lynne Carlson ace their tests at the School House Run

Conservation Park, Panama City Beach, FloridaThe School House Run in Panama City Beach, Florida is a trail run.


Now, the term "trail run" is not very specific. It could refer to a stroll along a manicured cart path on a very, very flat golf course. But it could also be used to describe a route that included ascents that had you on all fours, descents that had you on your tail, and a flat portion on a narrow ledge midway up the Cliffs of Insanity. So the School House Run is specifically described as "a hard, compact pea gravel and dirt run at Conservation Park."


No hills. This is Panama City Beach, after all.


But there was a slight drizzle and temperatures that encouraged sniffles at the race on Saturday morning, 18 March 2023. Those conditions didn't discourage Joel Scott, who won the eight-kilometer race by more than 200 meters, running 39:11. Master runner Lynne Carlson was the first woman in the 8K, placing third overall in 47:44.


Top Ten Athletes, Schoolhouse Run 8K
  1. 39:03, Joel Scott (M, Overall)
  2. 40:11, Caleb Goaty (M, 35-39)
  3. 47:44, Lynne Carlson (F, Overall)
  4. 56:32, Bobbilee McDonald (F, 40-44)
  5. 64:17, Jacqueline Godsey (F, 35-39)
  6. 65:10, William Nation (M, 60-64)
  7. 65:18, Jordan Horne (F, 30-34)
  8. 66:40, Elizabeth Arnold (F, 55-59)
  9. 67:23, Maureen Brown (F, 55-59)
  10. 67:24, Laura Smith (F, 30-34)

2023 School House Run entries also had an option of running five kilometers. Anthony Pignataro won the shorter race, covering the 3.1 miles of "pea gravel and dirt" in 28:02. Julia Fagan was the top woman in the 5K, running 29:56 and placing second overall.

  9. 41:43, Debbie Gregg (F, 60-64)
  10. 42:07, Lindsey Tranum (F, 35-39)

In addition to the 8K and the 5K, another seven athletes finished a one-mile fun run. Proceeds from the race benefit the Hope Kebir Primary School in Arua, Uganda, Africa.
