Leonardo Canete and Rachel NeSmith find victory on the Quail Trail

Quail Trail 5KPick any Saturday in autumn, and all over the United States you'll find a multiplicity of five-kilometer cross-country races--in parks, forests, fields, and country clubs. It's just one beautiful place to run after another. Of course, all those races are for high school cross-country teams.


There are a few such races for the rest of us, though. For instance, there was the ninth annual Quail Trail 5K, contested south of Thomasville, Georgia on the grounds of scenic Pebble Hill Plantation on Saturday morning, 19 October 2024. Making his first visit to Pebble Hill, Tallahassee, Florida master runner Leonardo Canete won the race in 17:48. Rachel NeSmith of Thomasville was the first woman in the 5K, placing sixth overall in 21:10.


Charlie Johnson, another Tallahassee master runner, finished runner-up to Canete in 18:14. Thomasville master runner Kevin Ethridge took third in 20:35.


Thomasville athlete Rebekah Campiglia was the second woman and seventh overall in 22:08. Kenley Reneau, an eighth-grader on the cross-country team at Thomas County Middle School, placed third in the women's standings and eleventh overall in 25:22.


139 athletes finished the 2024 Quail Trail 5K. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee, Florida timed and scored the race.
