Summer rules, and so do Samuel Hinga and Sharon Sason at Another Crowdis Run

Crowdis Run bannerTwo Doctor Crowdis Runs in Blakely, Georgia during 2021? Was it a compensation for 1996 to 2011 when the race wasn't held at all? Was it an anomaly due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Whatever the reasoning, Another Doctor Crowdis 5K was contested on the streets of Blakely on Saturday morning, 31 July 2021, and Samuel Hinga outkicked Walker Elrod for first, 19:41 to 19:42. Sharon Sason was the winning woman, placing sixth overall in 22:33.


The Doctor James Crowdis Run goes back to 1981. Since 2017 it has been a January race, but it was held in July from 2012 to 2016, so there's precedent for a summer Crowdis. Of course, Crowdis races has also been held in March, May, and September, so the calendar is clearly no obstacle to the athletes of Blakely.


Neither the calendar nor southwest Georgia's hot and sticky July weather were obstacles to hard racing between Samuel Hinga and Walker Elrod. Hinga couldn't entirely shake off Elrod, a thirteen-year-old from Bainbridge, Georgia, but he did manage to make it across the finish line at Blakely United Methodist Church a couple of steps ahead of the youngster in a winning 19:41. Elrod was a close second in 19:42. Both Hinga and Elrod had raced the Crowdis 10K on a much cooler morning, 9 January 2021, where Hinga had taken third in 40:01 and Elrod fifth in 42:25.

Landon Watts, a senior on the Bainbridge High cross-country team, was third in 19:57. Julio Garcia was the first master runner in the 5K, placing fourth overall in 21:09.


Hinga had a close race with Elrod, but in the women's competition Sharon Sason had no need to look back. And if she had she wouldn't have seen anyone--Sason's winning 22:33 put her more than 800 meters ahead of the next woman. Stephanie Odom was the first woman master in the race and the second female finisher, twelfth overall in 26:59. Patty Hamilton took third in the women's standings, placing sixteenth overall in 31:53.


30 athletes finished 2021's Another Doctor Crowdis 5K.

Jonathan Stern and Clifton Lewis pluck wins at Maclay Gardens

On Saturday morning, 24 July 2021, Jonathan Stern was in a hurry. He was in a hurry to get into the lead of the Maclay Gardens Trail Race. He was in a hurry to finish the nine-kilometer course through the Overstreet Tract of Maclay Gardens State Park, north of Tallahassee, Florida. But when he had finished, Stern had won the third race in Gulf Winds Track Club's Summer Trail Race Series, running 37:48. Thirteen-year-old Clifton Lewis was first in the women's division, placing eighth overall in 44:06.

It had been a dry year in Tallahassee. On the morning of the race, there was no water at all in the creek that carried overflow from Lake Overstreet. Nevertheless, there had been enough recent rain that the air was heavy with humidity, typical of July in Florida's Big Bend. The grass was dew-covered, and the ground itself was moist. Those were the conditions when the race got started, just a few minutes after 8:00 AM.


And just a few seconds after that start, Jonathan Stern was setting the pace for the field. A former cross-country and track athlete at Lake Forest College, Stern was closely followed by master runner Leonardo Canete. Two weeks earlier Canete had won the second event of this years Gulf Winds Trail Series, the Swamp Forest Trail Race. But the Maclay Gardens Race belonged to Stern. Stern continued to lead and took first in 37:48, finishing well over 200 meters ahead of the next runner. Tristan Lanasa ran 38:58 for second, his best placing yet in this year's Trail Series. Michael Nesius was third in 39:22. Canete was the first master runner in the race, coming in fourth overall in 39:34.

The Maclay Gardens Trail Race was Stern's debut on the Summer Trail Race circuit as well as his first Trail Series win. The first three Trail Series events in 2021 had three different male winners--Daniel Wurgler in the Tom Brown Park Trail Race, Leonardo Canete in the Swamp Forest Trail Race, and now Stern in the Maclay Gardens Trail Race. The women, on the other hand, had a repeat winner in Clifton Lewis. Lewis got her first win of the 2021 circuit at the Tom Brown Trail Race, then added a second victory at the Maclay Gardens Trail Race with a winning 44:06.


Amelia Bryant was second in the women's standings, finishing ninth overall in 44:55. Bryant had been the first woman in the Swamp Forest Trail Race. Hannah Hosay, an alum of the Maclay School cross-country team, was the third woman and tenth overall in 45:06. Ruffian Tyner was the first woman master and seventh female finisher, 29th overall in 53:19.

21 July 2021 Tallahassee 100-Mile Race Calendar

This is the Tallahassee vicinity road-race schedule for 21 July 2021. If that's more than a week ago, the latest schedule is always available via this link:

This is a listing of upcoming races within 100 miles of Tallahassee, Florida, roughly the region in the map below. If a race isn't listed, I probably haven't heard of it, so post a comment and let me know about it.
Races are being abruptly canceled or rescheduled due to COVID-19, so if a race is farther
away than across the street, it is more important than ever to confirm that the event is
actually taking place. Also, please make sure that you are comfortable with whatever
hygienic protocols an event has in place. Be safe, and smooth trails!
