Tallahassee's top 5K road times in 2014

Strictly speaking, the final day to record the top 5K road performance on a USATF certified course in Tallahassee during 2014 was December 31. Practically speaking, the final day was 27 November 2014, the day of Gulf Winds Track Club's Tallahassee Turkey Trot 5K, the last race in town on a certified 5K course. In actuality, though, the day came a lot earlier. Stanley Linton ran Tallahassee fastest 5K of 2014 back on 8 February 2014, a 15:24 at the 21st annual Run For The Cookies. The top women's time also came early in the year, when Amy Hines ran 17:45 at the 40th annual Palace Saloon 5K on 12 April 2014.

Stanley Linton


The city's fastest male master at 5K in 2014 was Bryan Koon; his fifth-place 16:46 at the Palace Saloon 5K made him the 14th ranked performer for the year. On the women's side, the fastest master performer was Mary Anne Grayson. Grayson ran 20:37 at the Palace Saloon 5K, making her the 26th rated female performer for the year.

Amy Hines


This makes three years--2012, 2013, and 2014--for which I've compiled the city's top 5K road times. Here's a summary:

Of course, there are folks out there who will look at these times and say, "Hey, I know that Joe Fast ran 14:20 back in the 1980s." Or: "What about Alice Quick? I think she ran a 16:10 or something once." Well, go ahead and document those performances, and confirm that they took place on a certified course, and then we'll talk. I'll be waiting right here. In the meantime, the city's top athletes have rankings from 2012 onward to compare themselves against.


By the way, here are the inclusion criteria for the rankings.
  • The race has to be in Tallahassee (anywhere in Leon County is fine)
  • The race has to be run on a USATF certified course
  • The race has to have published results
  • I have to see the results
And now, the performance lists for 2014.
