At Swamp Forest, Jonathan Stern and Andi Vilardo lead the return of GWTC Summer Trail Races

In Tallahassee, Florida's Phipps Park on Saturday morning, 28 May 2022, Gulf Winds Track Club opened the ninth season of its Summer Trail Series of races. The debut event of the four-race circuit was the Swamp Forest Trail Race, and Jonathan Stern won that opener by more than half a minute, running the seven kilometers in 28:08. Andi Vilardo was the top athlete in the women's standings, placing 21st overall in 38:29.

It was 33rd Summer Trail Series race since 2013, the year Bobby York established the series. It was also the largest yet, with 141 athletes on hand for the 8:00 AM start. Among that record-sized field were several past winners of Summer Trail Series races, Leonardo Canete, Jonathan Stern, and Daniel Wurgler, each of whom posted wins during the 2021 season. Those former champs were heading the field early in the race, but Stern was in front of them all. Stern had the lead at the halfway point of the race, 15 seconds up on Canete. Wurgler was running in third, another five seconds back. Those positions held for the rest of the race, with Stern taking first in 28:08, Canete second in 28:42, and Wurgler third in 28:49. For the fifth time in a row, Canete was the first master runner in a Series race.


Likewise, Andi Vilardo was leading the women's field at the midpoint of the race. Not a stranger to the trails, Vilardo ran cross-country for Montford Middle School during 2021, her seventh-grade season. Stacie Taylor was seven seconds behind Vilardo, followed by Kendall Meikenhous and Juliana Krueger. Vilardo maintained her position and claimed the women's title in 38:29. Overtaking Taylor and Meikenous, Krueger finished runner-up for the women, placing 22nd overall in 38:44. Taylor was the third woman, 25th overall in 39:00, while Meikenhous was fourth in the women's standings and 29th overall in 39:45. Katie Clark was the first woman master and the sixth female finisher, 32nd overall in 40:39.

The course for the Swamp Forest Trail Race was run on the trail system of Phipps Park, mostly on single-track paths maintained by the Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department. The race started and finished off Miller Landing Road near Gate A, atop the rim of the Lake Jackson basin, with much of the first half of the race spent running downhill toward the lake. Although the athletes never quite reached the water, they still had to spend the latter stages of the race climbing back up to the finish line.


After the Swamp Forest Trail Race, three events remained in Gulf Winds Track Club's 2022 Summer Trail Series--the Red Bug Trail Race at Forestmeadows Athletic Center on 18 June 2022, the Maclay Gardens Trail Race at Maclay Gardens State Park on 16 July 2022, and the Cadillac Trail Race in Tom Brown Park on 20 August 2022.

This is the Tallahassee vicinity road-race schedule for 25 May 2022. 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!

Leonardo Canete and Madison Sims barrel through the Backwoods

West of Tallahassee, Florida in the Apalachicola National Forest, you can find Forest Road 301. The United States Forest Service maintains the sandy strip, which stretches from Silver Lake Road to the Blountstown Highway, almost fifteen kilometers. On Saturday morning, 21 May 2022, two-and-a-half kilometers of that was taken up by the out-and-back course of the second annual Fort Braden Backwoods 5K. Tallahassee master runner Leonardo Canete won the race, covering the 3.1 miles of sand in 19:01. Leon High frosh cross-country runner Madi Sims was the first woman in the race, placing third overall in 24:05.


Caden Maxwell finished second behind Canete, running 20:03. Justin Mosley was third in the men's standings and fourth overall in 25:58.


At 28:18, Crystal Chadwll was the second woman in the race. Keri Levingston, a recent alum of the Wakulla High cross-country team, placed third on the women's side with a 28:36.

The Hurricane 5K is a breeze for Travis Boltjes and Viviana Schuyler

On Saturday morning, 21 May 2022, hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean was still nearly ten days away. It may not have been time for a storm in Tallahassee, Florida, but it was time for the Capital City Red Cross's annual Robin Lotane Hurricane 5K. Panama City, Florida master runner Travis Boltjes ran away from the field, covering the 3.1 miles through Tom Brown Park in 17:31. Viviana Schuyler of Bainbridge, Georgia took top honors for the women, placing seventh overall in 22:21.

The race started in front of the American Red Cross building on Easterwood Drive. Travis Boltjes and Ryan Truchelut shared the lead initially. Truchelut, a Tallahassee meteorologist, had won the race in 2017, but during the second kilometer he realized that he wasn't going to be able to keep up with Boltjes. After Truchelut fell back, Boltjes opened a gap of more than 600 meters before crossing the finish line back at the Red Cross, first in 17:31. Truchelut was second in 20:06. In a close race for third, Tallahassee master runner Paul Guyas finished in 20:53, just ahead of Kenneth Gloeckner at 20:56 and Duane Evans at 20:57.


Viviana Schuyler, the women's champ, was a 2021 alum of Bainbridge High, where she was a standout on the school's cross-country team. Her 22:21 at the Red Cross 5K put her almost 200 meters ahead of the next woman in the race. Monica Toth of Tallahassee was the first woman master in the race, placing second in the women's standings and eighth overall in 23:09. Tallahassee's Martha Guyas was the third woman and seventeenth overall in 26:25.

Canaan Ponce and Kylie Downs win the Daylily 5K on the streets of Sparks

2019 Daylily City 5KThe annual Daylily 5K has shuttled around Cook County, Georgia during its twelve years. Originally run in Reed Bingham State Park, the race subsequently moved to Adel, the Daylily City. For the 14 May 2022 event, the race moved north to the streets of Sparks, Georgia. The change in venue didn't prevent Canaan Poncé and Kylie Downs, two Cook County High cross-country runners, from finding their way to the race. Poncé, a junior, took first overall in 18:08. Downs, also a junior, was the first woman in the race, placing seventeenth overall in 24:16.


It was Canaan Poncé's second outing in the Daylily 5K; in 2021 he had finished fifth in the race, running 19:40. Another Daylily 5K veteran, Gabriel Poncé, ran 18:43 in the 2022 race to take the runner-up spot. Gabriel, a Cook County High alum, placed third (19:17) in the 2021 race and fourth (19:39) in 2019. Behind the Poncés, Chad Northcutt of Quitman, Georgia took third in 19:06. Andrew Marzen of Tifton, Georgia was the first master runner in the race, placing sixteenth overall in 23:43.


The 2022 race marked the second year in a row that Kylie Downs had taken the Daylily 5K women's title; the Cook County High harrier had run 23:00 for the win in 2021. Second place in the 2022 women's standings went to Julie Taylor of Adel, fourteenth overall in 24:31. Nashville, Georgia's Laura Solomon was the top woman master and third female finisher, nineteenth overall in 25:12.


57 athletes finished the 2022 Daylily City 5K. A Course/Line, LLC, of Valdosta, Georgia timed the race and provided finish line services.
