Caleb Carmichael and Hannah Hosay come home to win the Tallahassee Turkey Trot

In the United States, Thanksgiving is a time for homecoming. If you don't believe that, just try to book an airline flight during the Thanksgiving weekend. There is an especially big Thanksgiving homecoming event for athletes in Tallahassee, Florida, and that's Gulf Winds Track Club's annual Tallahassee Turkey Trot Road Race. Caleb Carmichael was among the thousands in Southwood for the race on Thanksgiving morning, 23 November 2023. Carmichael lives in Pensacola where he coaches cross-country at the University of West Florida, but a couple of decades back he was a high school cross-country runner in Tallahassee. He returned to win the Turkey Trot 15K by over 200 meters, running 51:23. In the women's competition, Hannah Hosay made a trip back home from the University of Florida in Gainesville to score a Turkey Trot 15K women's title, placing ninth overall in 60:57.

Trevor Touchton and Caleb Carmichael

The Turkey Trot 15K was the longest of three races that started from Esplanade Way in Southwood at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving Day. Caleb Carmichael set the early pace for the 15K field, but during the second kilometer Trevor Touchton took over the lead. By the four kilometer mark, Touchton, an alum of Lincoln High and the United States Military Academy, had opened a gap of ten seconds.


But Carmichael came back. The coach overtook Touchton by the midway point of the race, and then pulled away during the second half, going on to win in 51:23. Touchton took second in 52:08. Tallahassee's Leonardo Canete was the first master runner in the race, coming in third overall in 55:39. Mason Romuald, a senior on the Lincoln High cross-country team, took fourth in 57:37.

Hannah Hosay

On the women's side, Hannah Hosay never had any challengers during the 15K. By halfway the microbiology student was already 600 meters ahead, and that lead had grown to over 1200 meters by the time she crossed the finish line in a winning 60:57. Tallahassee's Melanie Leitman was the women's runner-up, placing 21st overall in 66:34. Kara Guinan, formerly a cross-country runner at Keene State University, was the third woman and 37th overall in 73:07. Laura Reina was the first woman master and fifth female finisher in the 15K, 51st overall in 76:46.

Where high school cross-country runners shone in the Turkey Trot 10K, collegiate harriers led the way in the 5K.

Andrew McGinnis

1500 meters into the race, Wyatt Townsend of William and Mary was setting the pace for the field, closely followed by Nathan Reffitt of the University of Tampa. A little bit farther back, Ben Kirbo was running in third, wearing Colorado State colors. Behind Kirbo was Andrew McGinnis, a second-year runner for the Samford University Bulldogs.


McGinnis overtook Kirbo, then Reffitt and Townsend. With a kilometer to go, the Samford Bulldog had a five-second lead. He widened that gap on the way to the finish line, which he reached in a winning 15:04. Townsend held off Reffitt for second, 15:17 to 15:18. Kirbo took fourth in 15:26. Hans Hassell was the first master runner in the short race and the 21st male finisher, 22nd overall in 18:53.

Erin Phelps

Erin Phelps, an alum of the Chiles High and Florida State University cross-country teams, was the first woman in the 5K, placing seventeenth overall in 18:31. Charlotte Sikes, a seventh-grader on the Swift Creek Middle School cross-country squad, placed runner-up in the women's standings, finishing 28th overall in 19:04. Suus Altorf of the Netherlands, a frosh harrier for Florida State, was third in the women's division and 29th overall in 19:11.
