Almost without exception the fastest road 15K times in Tallahassee, Florida are run in November at Gulf Winds Track Club's Tallahassee Turkey Trot. There are always a few good performances at the Gulf Winds Track Club 15K in January, but the best are typically in November.
2020 started out typically. The Gulf Winds Track Club 15K was run on 18 January 2020. News stories about a new virus spreading in China has just started to show up. By March, COVID-19 was in the United States. The lockdown started. Road races were canceled. Racing still hadn't returned in November, and there was no Tallahassee Turkey Trot.

So the Gulf Winds Track Club 15K was the only race of that distance in the Tallahassee area during 2020. Thus, Caleb Carmichael's winning time of 51:21 stands as Tallahassee's fastest 15K performance of the year. The fastest 15K by a master runner was Tony Guillen's 60:01 in the same race, good for seventh in the men's ranking.
Laura DiBella won the women's title at the GWTC 15K with a 63:08, which stands as not only as 2024's fastest road 15K in Tallahassee by a woman, but also the top time by a woman master.

With vaccines on the way, it looks like road racing may return to Tallahassee in 2021, including 15K road races. The Gulf Winds Track Club 15K is already scheduled for 16 January 2021. Gulf Winds Track Club's next Tallahassee Turkey Trot 15K, should it happen, will be on 25 November 2021. Results from those races would be included in any 2021 rankings, as well as those from any other 15K meeting these 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
