Corey Osgood and Alison Thumm roll at the Race For Trace

Saturday morning, 7 September 2019, wasn't the first time athletes had assembled at Roberts Elementary School for a race. It wasn't even the first time in 2019. Back in January, the Trent Trot 10K and 5K had started and finished at the Tallahassee, Florida school. But it was the first time that the Race For Trace 5K had been run at Roberts Elementary or anywhere else. Corey Osgood won the new race, edging master runner Michael Martinez for first, 18:42 to 18:48. Master runner Alison Thumm was the first woman in the race, placing seventh overall in 21:28.


The course for the Race For Trace was the same as that used for the Trent Trot 5K, so more than a few athletes in the field were already familiar with the route. That included Corey Osgood, who had won the Trent Trot in 2018, running 18:51. Michael Martinez had run the 2019 Trent Trot 5K and placed second in 19:01. Those races had been in cool January air, but in spite of the September heat, both Osgood and Martinez had run faster at the Race For Trace--Osgood posting a winning 18:42 and Martinez 18:48. Master runner Dan Koeppel, who was seeing the course for the first time, took third in 20:00.


Master runner Shannon Colavecchio was the second woman in the race, placing and eighteenth overall in 22:58. Another Tallahassee master runner, Anna Koeppel, was the third woman and 21st overall in 23:09. Twelve-year-old Madison Sims, a sixth-grader on the Fort Braden School cross-country team, took fourth in the women's standings and 23rd overall in 23:19.


436 athletes finished the 2019 Race For Trace 5K. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee timed the race.

Osgood wins and Wilkey repeats at Tallahassee's Trent Trot 5K

A few years ago, Corey Osgood ran cross-country at Montford Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida. Fewer years ago, Caitlin Wilkey ran cross-country at Montford. Montford happens to be right next door to Roberts Elementary School, so it was almost a homecoming on Saturday morning, 27 January 2018, when Osgood and Wilkey raced in Roberts Elementary's ninth annual Trent Trot 5K. You could even call it a homecoming celebration, because Osgood won the race in 18:51 and Wilkey took the women's title in 20:37, placing fifth overall. It was Wilkey's second year in a row as women's champ of the Trent Trot.

Elijah Blay, a frosh cross-country runner at Chiles High, was second in the race in 19:17. 15-year-old Peter Failma of Tallahassee took third in 19:57. Brian Corbin, a Montford teacher, was the fastest master runner in the race, placing fourth overall in 20:03.


Tylo Farrar was second to Wilkey in the women's standings, placing fifteenth overall in 22:39. Kate Chunka was the third woman and seventeenth overall in 22:43. Mary Vancore was the top woman master and tenth female finisher, 46th overall in 26:03.


366 athletes finished the 2018 Trent Trot 5K and another 200 completed a one-mile fun run. Gulf Winds Track Club of Tallahassee, Florida chip-timed the races.
