Tallahassee's top 5K road times in 2019 (through September 21)

With another week left in September, 2019, there have already been three 5K road races on USATF-certified courses in Tallahassee, Florida--one each weekend. There's another weekend with another such race left in the month, but Tallahassee's athletes have already revised the city's road 5K performance lists for the year. Let's take a look.

Paul Allen

Paul Allen broke into the men's top ten with a winning 16:02 at Gulf Winds Track Club's Sickle Cell 5K on 14 September 2019, fast enough to put Allen fifth on the list. Bryce Parry also made it onto the men's list at the Sickle Cell 5K, but he moved into the top ten by running 16:56 on 21 September 2019 at Gulf Winds Track Club's Tallahassee Women's Distance Festival 5K, where he finished runner-up to Allen. Michael Niezgoda moved from 18th up to 14th by running 17:21 at the Women's Distance Festival 5K. Zach DeVeau went 17:53 at the Women's Distance Festival, his best time in 2019 by a second, but dropped from 23rd to 24th on the men's list.

David Barney and Ricardo Estremera

Even after three weeks of September racing, David Barney and Ricardo Estremera still top the men's list with the 14:39 they ran at Gulf Winds Track Club's Palace Saloon 5K, back on 13 April 2019. Gary Droze ran 17:53 at the same race, which is still the fastest performance by a master runner in Tallahassee during 2019.

Ann Centner

Ann Centner is also still on top of the women's list with the 17:38 she ran at Palace. It's almost like Palace is--dare I say it--the fastest race in town. But Centner wasn't idle in September, running 18:00 at the Women's Distance Festival 5K and 18:09 at the Sickle Cell 5K. Currently she has five of the city's top six women's performance during 2019.


Running 19:58 at the Women's Distance Festival 5K, Katie Sherron went under 20:00 for the first time in 2019 and held steady at eleventh on the women's list. Alyssa Moore ran 20:07 at the Sickle Cell 5K, putting her at the twelfth spot on the women's list. Brittney Barnes ran her best mark of the year so far, a 20:29 at the Sickle Cell 5K, moving from nineteenth to eighteenth in the women's top 25. Master runner Alison Thumm broke into the top 25 at #24 with a 21:28 at the Race For Trace 5K on 7 September 2019. Another master runner, Lourena Maxwell, grabbed the 25th spot on the women's list with a 21:31 at the Sickle Cell 5K.

The fastest woman master so far this year, though, is still Stephanie Liles-Weyant, the Tallahassee triathlete who ran 20:31 at the Palace Saloon 5K.


Those top times aren't immovable, though. Some athlete might turn a top time before 31 December 2019. It could happen at the Uplift 5K on 19 October 2019, the Marching Chiefs 5K on 27 October 2019, the Deerlake 5K or Race For Pace 5K on 2 November 2019, the VetFest 5K on 11 November 2019, the Tallahassee Turkey Trot 5K on 28 November 2019, or any other five-kilometer road race meeting thse criteria:
  • 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
Meanwhile, here are 2019's current lists, the top 25 men and top 25 women:
