This is the Tallahassee vicinity road-race schedule for 26 June 2024. If that's more than a week ago, the latest schedule is always available via this link:

https://troubleafoot.blogspot.com/search/label/calendar?max-results=1

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 can be abruptly canceled or rescheduled, so if a race is farther away than across the street, it is important to confirm that the event is actually taking place. Be safe, and smooth trails!

Henry Lewis and Isabella Laughton make it a Wakulla High sweep at the Freedom 5K

Each June since 2013, the Wakulla High School Cross-Country Boosters have hosted the Freedom 5K at Florida's Wakulla Springs State Park. The park isn't close to the school, more than twelve miles away. It's not a regular workout venue for the team.

Henry Lewis

"We only come here once a year," said Wakulla harrier Henry Lewis, a rising junior and the team's ace. "Just for this race."


Nevertheless, on Saturday morning, 22 June 2023, at the eleventh annual Paul Hoover Freedom 5K, Lewis ran like he owned Wakulla Springs. He won the race by over 200 meters in 16:31, setting a new course record. Rising senior Isabella Laughton made it a Wakulla High sweep, taking first in the women's standings in 21:19, good for eleventh overall.

Tyler Godwin

The 2023 Freedom 5K winner, Tyler Godwin, joined Lewis on the starting line, as did Tallahassee, Florida master runner Leonardo Canete. Canete had taken third in the 2023 race behind Godwin and Lewis. In the 2024 event, Canete darted into the lead right after the start. Lewis was never far behind, though, and 200 meters into the race he had taken over. Godwin also overtook Canete, but no one was going to catch Lewis that morning. Out the Cherokee Sink Trail, around the Sink, and back to the Springs, Lewis stayed in command, crossing the finish line in a winning 16:31--just better than the old course record of 16:32, set in 2017 by Justin Keefe.


Godwin, the defending champ, took second in 17:14. Canete was the first master runner in the 5K, coming in third overall in 17:49.

Isabella Laughton

Isabella Laughton had raced the Freedom 5K in 2021, 2022, and 2023, finishing runner-up in the women's division twice and third once. In 2024 the race was all hers as she won by more than 250 meters with a 21:19, her best time yet at the Freedom 5K. Another Wakulla senior-to-be, Lana Hawkins, went 22:29 for the second women's spot and sixteenth overall. Serafina Rietow, a rising junior on the John Paul II Catholic High cross-country team, was the third woman and eighteenth overall in 22:52. Melissa Martin was the first woman master and sixth female finisher, 24th overall in 24:12.


After the Freedom 5K, it was still nine weeks till Wakulla High's cross-country opener at the Dueling Summits Meet in Tallahassee. Henry Lewis didn't plan to be idle during that time.

Lana Hawkins

"We've got two races I want to do before cross-country season," said Lewis. "The Saint George Island Sizzler 5K and the Miller Landing Madness 8K."


And other than that?


"Just running a lot of miles," said Lewis.

The start of the 2024 Paul Hoover Freedom 5K

129 athletes finished the Wakulla High Cross-Country Boosters' eleventh annual Paul Hoover Freedom 5K. Gulf Winds Track Club of Tallahassee chip-timed the race.
