Wakulla High graduating senior Stanley Linton set a new event record in the 11th annual Tails & Trails 10K on Saturday morning, 5 May 2011, unseating the race's defending champion, Vince Molosky. Linton won the 10K over the trails of Tom Brown Park in 34:52, while Molosky finished runner-up in 36:02. Micah Adriani added another women's title to her 2010 Tails & Trails win, finishing 10th overall in 41:38. 246 athletes finished the 6.2-mile run.
Since 2006, as long as there had been a 10K race at the Tails & Trails, Vince Molosky had been the the champion. The event was still called the Furry Scurry when Molosky won the inaugural 10K. Through 2011 he took the title each year, six straight wins. Molosky brought that record to the starting line in front of the Animal Shelter on May 5. But a kilometer into the race, Molosky was five seconds behind Stanley Linton. Seven days earlier, Linton had run the last race of his high school track career, placing seventh in the state championship 3200 meters. Now he was leading his first post- high school competition. After four kilometers Linton was still ahead, this time by 20 seconds. Linton continued to run strong through the second half of the race, continuing to pull ahead of Molosky and the rest of the field. The last kilometer was mostly uphill, but Linton had an appointment with the finish line. He made it there in 34:52, breaking Molosky's course record of 35:07. Molosky was over 300 meters back in second place, finishing in 36:02. Hunter Scott ran in third most of the race, but Roger Schmidt was never far behind. After stalking Scott for most of the race, Schmidt caught him during the last kilometer. In the final kick for third place, Schmidt edged Scott 38:15 to 38:17. Eric Godin was fifth in 40:31, and Mike Peymann was the fastest master runner, placing sixth in 41:14.
After winning the women’s title in the 2010 Tails & Trails 10K, Micah Adriani had stepped down to the 5K in the 2011 event, but this year she was back in the longer race. Almost immediately after the start, Adriani went to the front of the women’s field, then stayed there. 41:38 didn’t break the course record, but it was fast enough for a win, and Adriani won big, crossing the finish line more than a kilometer ahead of runner-up Angela Wable. Wable, running her first Tails & Trails, was 31st overall in 46:26. The first woman master and ninth female finisher was Nancy Stedman, 53rd overall in 49:35.Top Ten Men, 2012 Tails & Trails 10K
