Austin Whitelaw and Sheryl Rosen headline the 15K at the 44th annual Tallahassee Turkey Trot

In Tallahassee, Florida you can depend on thousands of runners showing up in Southwood on Thanksgiving morning. It has been that way since 2002, when Gulf Winds Track Club moved the Tallahassee Turkey Trot to Southwood. Low temperatures or wet weather may cut into the crowd some years, but they still came in their thousands. The weather was bright and cool for the 44th annual Turkey Trot on Thursday morning, 28 November 2019, prompting more than 5,000 athletes to make it to the starting line of one of the four races--mile, 5K, 10K, and the main event 15K. Of that crowd, the first over the finish line in the 15K was Austin Whitelaw, who won the 9.3-mile race in 49:24. Sheryl Rosen was the first woman in the 15K, placing seventh overall in 57:33.

Austin Whitelaw

The hundreds of athletes in the “Turkey Gobbler” Mile had already had their turn on the streets of Southwood when the longer races--15K, 10K, and 5K--started at 8:30 AM. By the end of the first mile, Austin Whitelaw and Trevor Touchton were leading the 15K field. For the first half of the run, they raced side by side--Whitelaw, an academic advisor with Florida State University Student-Athlete Academic Services, and Touchton, a United States Army Lieutenant stationed at Fort Bragg. Approaching the five-mile mark, Whitelaw broke away.


“It was right at the 10K and 15K split,” said Whitelaw. “After that he was still close.”

Trevor Touchton, Austin Whitelaw
Trevor Touchton and Austin Whitelaw

Between the six- and seven-mile marks, the course made a U-turn, allowing Whitelaw to gauge his lead over Touchton.


“I had about 30 seconds on him there,” said Whitelaw. “I told myself that as long as I keep running aggressively, I’ll be all right.”


He did. He was. Whitelaw took first in 49:24, with Touchton second in 50:14. Caleb Carmichael, the University of West Florida cross-country coach, placed third in 52:22. Tallahassee Community College cross-country coach Gary Droze was the first master runner in the race and sixth overall in 57:27.

Sheryl Rosen

Whitelaw raced cross-country at Monroe High School and at the University of Tennessee. He also has plans to compete at the USATF National Club Cross Country Championships in December. During that long athletic career, though, Whitelaw never raced 15K, so his time in the race stands as a personal best. Sheryl Rosen, the Turkey Trot 15K women’s champ, seemed dismissive of her own performance.


“I was a minute off last year’s time,” said Rosen.


Rosen didn’t mention that her 2018 mark, 56:45, is still the second-fastest time logged by a woman on the Southwood course. Rosen wasn’t exactly pushed in the 2019 race, either. When she crossed the finish line in 57:33, she was almost a mile ahead of the next woman in the race. Rosen collected her first Turkey Trot 15K title in 2006. The 2019 win was her ninth. No one has won the race as many times.

Rachel Durbin

Rachel Durbin was the second woman in the race, coming in eighteenth overall in 1:03:31. Alyssa Moore was the third woman and 21st overall in 1:05:39. L. A. Hanlon was the first woman master and sixth female finisher, 31st overall in 1:07:43.

Whitelaw and Touchton had each other for company during the first half of the 15K. In the 10K, Chris Haynes ran alone for nearly the entire 6.2-mile race. That’s not surprising when you consider that Haynes not only went faster than anyone else in the race, he went faster than anyone has ever run the Turkey Trot 10K. His 31:34 winning time took three seconds off the Turkey Trot record. Not that there weren't any obstacles along the way.

“I was bobbing and weaving among the 5K runners on the fourth mile and the last kilometer,” said Haynes.


He did enjoy himself along the way, though.

Micah Kemp

“The drums were cool!” said Haynes. “The course was well marked. It was super well marked.”


Micah Kemp, a senior on the University of West Florida cross-country team, was second in 34:33. Michael Rhodes of Perry, Florida was the top master runner in the race, outkicking Leon High's Joseph Ashebo for third overall. Both runners were clocked in 35:40.

Ann Centner

Ann Centner went 35:41 for the women's title in the 10K, placing fifth overall. It wasn’t a Turkey Trot record, but it was the fastest 10K run by a woman on the Tallahassee roads in the last eight years. It also took more than a minute off Centner’s personal best, a 36:57 she ran at Thomasville’s 2019 Rose City 10K.


Mia DePillo, a senior on the East Tennessee State women's cross-country squad, placed second in the women's standings and tenth overall in 40:01. Renee Cox, a University of West Florida graduate student in nursing, was the third woman and eleventh overall in 40:10. Cox had won the women's title in the 2018 Turkey Trot 10K. Ali Kelly of Tallahassee was the first woman master and fifth female finisher in the 10K, 34th overall in 43:45.

Estremera led from the gun, and crossed the finish line far ahead of the rest of the field in 14:46--equalling Mizereck’s mark.

Andrew Caruana and Sandra Griffin get their race on for the Racing Mason 5K

Mason Elementary School brought its road race, the Racing Mason 5K, back to the streets of Valdosta, Georgia for an encore on Saturday morning, 23 November 2019. Andrew Caruana, a junior on the Lowndes High cross-country team, won the second annual race with a 17:39. Master runner Sandra Griffin was the first woman in the 5K, placing ninth overall in 21:47.


Ryan Kelly, the Valdosta High cross-country coach, was the first master runner in the race, placing second overall in 18:15.

Pinetta, Florida master runner Tracey Cole was runner-up in the women's standings, placing eleventh overall in 22:53.
