Columbus (Indiana) North High junior-year harrier Adira Sluder was the first woman in the race, finishing fourteenth overall in 21:01.


Ryan Driskill, a junior on the Pleasant Plains High cross-country team, took second overall in 17:03. At 17:14, Columbus North junior Denton Sluder grabbed third. Jared Driskill of Pleasant Plains, Illinois was the first master runner in the race, coming in fourth overallin 18:22.

Meagan Dye was runner-up in the women's division, placing 28th overall in 23:35. Mandi Lora was the third woman and 30th overall in 24:16. Kim Allan was the first woman master and eighth female finisher; the Panama City athlete was 44th overall in 26:25.

25 December 2024 Tallahassee 100-Mile Race Calendar

This is the Tallahassee vicinity road-race schedule for 25 December 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!

Single-age records for Gulf Winds Track Club's Tannenbaum Trail 6K, 2011-2024

If you read about Gulf Winds Track Club's 2024 Tannenbaum Trail 6K cross-country race, you might know that Alyson Churchill has the women's event record, 21:46. But you wouldn't necessarily know that Churchill had also run Tannenbaum's best time ever for a twelve-year-old girl, 25:41. Or that back in 2011, Stan Linton established the Tannenbaum standard for fifteen-year-old boys, 20:35. You might have also overlooked that Bryan Koon not only has the master runner record for Tannenbaum (20:51), but also the records for 40-year-old men (21:41) and 41-year-old men (21:13).

Katie Sherron

Those gems and more you can find on this table of single-age records for the Tannenbaum Trail 6K, current through the first twelve runnings of the race.
