Jim Halley and Monica Toth headline the return of the Swarm 10K

If you want to run a 10K in Tallahassee, there’s the Springtime Road Race. A downtown race, Springtime has been around for more than forty years and there are hundreds of other athletes to keep you company. But what if you were doing something else that day?


“I was doing an adventure race in Steinhatchee with Monica and Kristen,” said Jim Halley. “Six hours! Five-and-a-half hours.”

Jim Halley

Anyone who missed Springtime, like Halley, didn’t have to wait long for another chance to race 10K. Just a week later, on Saturday morning, Apr. 6, Conley Elementary hosted the Yellow Jacket Swarm 10K in Southwood. Halley won that 6.2-mile race, running 42:25. Monica Toth, who had run Springtime, got to log a second 10K. She was the first woman at the Swarm, placing third overall in 50:50.


It’s not that Halley has never raced Springtime; he’s run there four times. How does the Swarm compare?


“It’s harder, harder,” said Halley. “You don’t have a net downhill like Springtime. I think Southwood is hillier.”

Gavin Jameson

Springtime starts on top of the same hill that the state capital rests on. Similarly, the Swarm starts at Conley Elementary near the crest of the Cody Escarpment, a slope marking the transition from the Red Hills to the coastal plane. Springtime, though, never returns to the hilltop near the capital. Runners in the Swarm have to climb back up the Cody Escarpment to Conley Elementary and the finish line.


Southwood was covered with fog when the Swarm 10K started at 8:30 AM. The Swarm 5K started at the same time, and athletes in both races headed south through the mist on Four Oaks Boulevard. After two kilometers, the courses for the two events separated, leaving Halley alone in front of the 10K field.

Monica Toth

“I had humidity to keep me company,” said Halley.


That was his only companion for the rest of the race. Gavin Jameson was a distant runner-up in 47:48.

Samantha Fillmore

In the women’s competition, master runner Samantha Fillmore was leading when the 10K and 5K courses split, reaching that point more than half a minute ahead of Monica Toth and Shelly Herman. Toth overtook Fillmore during the second half of the race, and was fifteen seconds up by the end of the eighth kilometer. That margin grew on the way back to the school, where Toth took the women’s title in 50:50. Fillmore was second in 51:53, and Herman third in 54:23.

Halley trailed only two 5K runners at the split, and one of those was the pacesetter of the shorter race, master runner Michael Martinez. Martinez continued to lead the 5K, running a winning 19:15. Steven Wilson was second in 21:06, and Cadden Maxwell, a sixth-grader on the Raa Middle School cross-country team, placed third in 24:02.

At 25:40, Bridget Joyner was the first woman in the 5K. Sarah Durrance was the women's runner-up in 32:00. Katrina Harris was the first woman master and third female finisher, running 33:56.

Bridget Joyner

The Swarm was run annually each autumn from 2011 to 2013, but was on hiatus until being revived as a spring race this year. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee timed the 5K and 10K races at the 2019 Swarm, as well as a one-mile fun run.

Jim Halley and Alison Thumm finish earliest at the better-late-than-never Run For Lawson 10K

The Run For Lawson started as an annual 5K in 2011 with a 10K added to the program in 2012. Through 2017, each cross-country race took athletes on a tour of some beautiful Tallahassee, Florida countryside. Runners got to experience Lawson's Course on the campus of Holy Comforter Episcopal School as well as the hills and fields of Welaunee Plantation.


Meanwhile, Welaunee was changing. After decades of agriculture, it was turning into a residential development. In 2018 the course for the Run For Lawson was unusable because of construction, and the autumn races were postponed.

Jim Halley, Alison Thumm

But the Run For Lawson was back with new courses on Saturday morning, 16 February 2019. Jim Halley of Tallahassee was first in a field of 44 finishers in the 10K, winning by over a minute in 41:25. Tallahassee master runner Alison Thumm was the first woman in the 6.2-mile race, placing fifth overall in 46:00.


Eric Godin had won the 5K at the 2016 Run For Lawson. He stepped up to the 10K in 2019, taking the runner-up spot in 42:43. Wayne Thumm was the first master runner in the 10K, coming in third overall in 44:21.


Alison Thumm's Run For Lawson 10K title was her second; she had also won the race in 2012, it's inaugural year. Master runner Ali Kelly was second to Thumm in the 2019 women's standings, placing ninth overall in 48:37. Emily Kaiser took third on the women's side and eleventh overall in 48:37.

Wyatt Townsend is in this third and final year at Deerlake Middle School. Townsend ran for Deerlake's cross-country team during those years, winning more than half a dozen 3K races during the 2018 season, including Florida's Middle School Boys' Cross-Country Championship. Holy Comforter hosted six middle school cross-country meets on Lawson's Course while Townsend was competing for Deerlake, but he never got to race at any of those. The Deerlake eighth-grader got his first look at Lawson's Course in the 2019 Run For Lawson 5K.


Townsend may have been a first-timer, but he raced like a veteran, winning the 5000-meter race by almost 400 meters. Tallahassee Community College cross-country runner Kendall Ward was the first woman in the 5K, placing fourth overall in 21:56.

Wyatt Townsend, Kendall Ward

At 19:40, Kurt Dietrich, runner-up in the 2017 Run For Lawson 5K, was also runner-up in the 2019 race. David Cruz took third in 21:44. Tom Schulte was the first master runner in the 5K and the fourth male finisher, fifth overall in 22:22.


Running 23:44, Meghan Kennedy edged Ava Hill for second in the women's standings. Hill, a sixth-grader on Holy Comforter's cross-country team, ran 23:46. Kennedy and Hill were ninth and tenth overall. Jaye Danforth (16th, 26:07) finished just ahead of Camilla Schaefer (17th, 26:13) to take fourth on the women's side. Schaefer was the first woman master in the race.


126 athletes finished the 2019 Run For Lawson 5K. Gulf Winds Track Club of Tallahassee chip-timed both the 10K and the 5K.

More tales of the Swamp Forest Trail

North of Tallahassee, Florida, most of the 670 acres of Phipps Park is on a slope descending west to the shore of Lake Jackson. It’s not an uninterrupted descent. Streams, swamps, and steepheads punctuate the terrain. There are gullies, too; relics of poor soil management practices back when the land was planted in cotton. The cotton is gone, as are the men and mules that worked it. The park is mostly forest now.

Jim Halley

There are roads through the trees, narrow and unpaved, leftovers from when the land was a hunting preserve. Cyclists, equestrians, and runners use the roads. Runners are especially active during the fall cross-country season, coming to Phipps Park for the Miller Landing Madness, the Cougar Cross-Country Challenge, and the Red Hills Cross-Country Invitational.


Phipps Park also has a network of hiking trails, separate from the roads but going up and down the same hills. Those paths are frequented by walkers and trail runners. The trail runners are experiencing the same topography as the cross-country runners, but never seeing the same paths. It’s like an episode of “The Twilight Zone,” where aliens occupy the same space as we do, but in a different dimension, so that we never encounter each other.

Laura Sellati

More than a few trail aficianados were in the park on Saturday morning, 5 January 2019, for Gulf Winds Track Club’s sixth annual Swamp Forest Trail Races. After Hurricane Michael in October, the park was missing some of the trees from previous years, but nearly all of the damage had been cleared from the trails. Trees don’t need a storm to fall, though. Sometimes it’s just a tree’s time.


“A big one was down on the course this morning,” reported Bobby York, the race director. “It fell after we marked the course.”

Tristan Lanasa

In addition to the fallen tree, the athletes had to negotiate mud, sand, leaves, gravel, pine needles, tree roots, and terrain that you rarely see this side of the piedmont. It was a trail runner’s dream.


Four races started at 8:00 AM, a quarter-marathon, a half-marathon, a marathon, and a 50-kilometer. The actual distances were a bit longer than posted, being one, two, four, and five laps around a loop that York said was 6.85 miles, while some runners claimed it was seven miles or more.

Alyssa Terry and friends

The first finishers of the morning were in the quarter-marathon, led by Jim Halley. Halley, the director of the Swamp Forest Trail Races in 2017 and 2018, won the race in 52:50. The first master runner across the finish line was Camilo Ordonez, second overall in 1:03:05. Laura Sellati was the first woman in the quarter-marathon, placing fourth overall in 1:04:14. Sonya Dudley was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, eleventh overall in 1:14:10.

Jim Halley and Katie Sherron were crazy-fast at Miller Landing Madness

After trailing for four miles, Jim Halley came on in the fifth and final mile to grab the lead from Myles Gibson, then raced home to win Gulf Winds Track Club's annual Miller Landing Madness 8K in 33:07. Katie Sherron won the women's title, placing twelfth overall in 36:04.

Jim Halley

The eight-kilometer race wasn’t the only event at the Madness that Saturday morning, Aug. 18. A five-kilometer race started at the same time, and a three-kilometer an hour later. All three were run at Tallahassee’s Phipps Park, just off of Miller Landing Road. The 8K and the 5K got started at 8:00 AM. Stephen Robbins led the 8K in the early going, but was eventually overtaken by Donalsonville, Georgia master runner Myles Gibson. Meanwhile, Halley of Tallahassee was stalking Gibson.


“Myles goes out fast” said Halley. So I just tried to gradually catch up to him, and I did with a mile to go. I didn’t know Myles was in the lead, though. I thought there might be a fast sixteen-year-old ahead of us.”

Myles Gibson

The confusion arose because the 8K had shared a course with the 5K for the first mile. But Gibson had been in front of the 8K field, and now Halley was. He still was when he crossed the finish line in a winning 33:07. At 33:19, Gibson was the top master runner and overall runner-up. Two Lincoln High cross-country runners--junior Joey Jung and sophomore Nicholas Samuel--challenged Gibson for second, but Jung took third in 33:19 and Samuel was fourth in 33:20. Another Lincoln athlete, junior Kevin Majano, took fifth in 33:47, just ahead of one-time race leader Stephen Robbins, sixth in 33:50.

Katie Sherron

Katie Sherron had taken the women’s title at the Miller Landing Madness 8K before, winning in 2013. Although Alyssa Terry was closing fast during the last mile, Sherron still led the women’s field from start to finish, collecting her second Madness title with a 36:04 effort. Terry was second in the women's standings and fourteenth overall in 36:11. Brittney Barnes was the third woman and twentieth overall in 37:43. Ali Kelly was the top woman master and seventh female finisher, 45th overall in 41:53.

Meanwhile, the frontrunners in the 5K had already wrapped up their own race. Jesse Boyd had been the first by the four-kilometer mark of the shorter race.


“Back to back,” he chanted, breathlessly, as he went by. “Back to back.”

Jesse Boyd

Boyd, a Blountstown High alumnus, was indeed the defending champion in the race and was going for a second win. He got it, running 18:00--just five seconds off his winning time from the year before. Brandon Flagler was second in the 3.1-mile race at 18:50. In a finish-line battle of two high school cross-country runners, Wakulla junior Daniel Wiedeman edged North Florida Christian junior David Keen for third, 19:18 to 19:19.

Sheryl Rosen

Sheryl Rosen had been the first woman in the Miller Landing Madness 8K in 2008, 2010, and 2011, but in 2018 she stepped down to the 5K. Rosen took the women’s title in the shorter race, placing tenth overall in 19:57. Wakulla High senior cross-country runner Alyssa Langston was runner-up in the women's standings and twentieth overall in 22:33. Kendall Ward was the third woman and 25th overall in 22:53.

After the 8K and 5K runners had cleared the trails of Phipps Park, it was time for the 3K runners to take their turn. The race turned into a duel between two middle school cross-country runners, Fairview seventh-grader Patrick Koon, the defending champions, and Swift Creek eighth-grader Connor Edwards. The two had met before on the trails during the 2017 cross-country season, but this was a new year and a new race.

Connor Edwards and Patrick Koon

“After the water I started catching up to Patrick,” said Edwards. “I caught him at the top of the hill. Near the end he started sprinting, so I started sprinting.”


Edwards proved to have the most leg speed left at the end of the race, and inched ahead of Koon for the win, 10:37 to 10:39. The marks were the two fastest times ever posted in the Miller Landing Madness 3K, both beating the event record of 10:48 run by James McClure in 2014. Khary Wright took third in 11:21.


There was another record on the female side, as Rory Claussen led the girls’ field from wire-to-wire. The seventh-grader ran 11:26, eclipsing the 11:34 run by Alyson Churchill in the 2015 Madness. A Panama City runner, Claussen took the Tallahassee hills in stride.

Rory Claussen

“It was fun,” said Claussen. “We don’t have a lot of hills in Panama City. I wanted to do some 3K races before the big fall races.”


One of the big fall races will be the Florida Middle School Cross-Country Championship, where Claussen finished second in 2017.


Behind Claussen, Maclay eighth-grader Ella Porcher was the second female and ninth overall in 11:55. Sofia Paredes, another Maclay eighth-grader, was third in the girls' standings and thirteenth overall in 12:05.

Halley and Mohamed triumph at the Tulip Trot

Back in 2010, the first Tulip Trot 5K was held in Tallahassee, Florida's Tom Brown Park. But on Saturday morning, 27 January 2018, for the fourth year in a row the annual race was run in Cascades Park. And for the second year in a row, Jim Halley won the Tulip Trot, this time posting an 18:09 in the 3.1-mile race. Sherez Mohamed was the first woman in the race, placing sixth overall in 21:14.

Kurt Dietrich and Jim Halley

"I was probably a little slower than last year," Jim Halley said of this 18:09 winning time. "But it was warmer than last year. Also I didn't have Gary Droze chasing me this year."


Halley did have pursuit from Kurt Dietrich. Sharing the lead, Halley and Dietrich ran together for much of the first mile. During the second mile, though, Halley broke away. Over the rest of the race Halley steadily widened the gap, ultimately crossing the finish line 50 meters ahead of Dietrich. Dietrich was second in 18:21. Duane Evans was the first master runner in the race, placing third overall in 19:51.

Sherez Mohamed

While Halley and Dietrich were dueling for the men's title, a larger competition was brewing on the women's side. Half a mile into the race, just a few seconds separated the first five women. Natalie Toellner led, closely followed by Sherez Mohamed, Alyssa Terry, Alyssa Langston, and Laura McDermott. Toellner was still setting the pace for the women's field midway through the race, but Mohamed and Terry were closing in as the runners headed to a turnaround on Franklin Boulevard near the two-mile mark.


"It was near the turnaround that they both went by me," recalled Toellner.


Terry was the first to pass Toellner, with Mohamed close behind. She didn't stay behind for long. Mohamed overtook Terry during the last mile, then powered home to cross the finish line in 21:14, taking the women's title. Terry was second in the women's standings and seventh overall in 21:29, while Wakulla High junior Alyssa Langston was the third woman and eighth overall in 21:49. Laura McDermott was the fourth woman and ninth overall in 21:57, and early leader Natalie Toellner was fifth in the women's standings and tenth overall in 22:15. Nancy Proctor was the first woman master and sixth female finisher, fifteenth overall in 23:20.

Alyssa Terry

Sherez Mohamed, the winning woman, isn't frequently seen in Tallahassee road races, but that doesn't mean she's not an experienced athlete.


"I used to run as an undergraduate at the University of Albany in New York," said Mohamed. "Mid distance. I ran the 800. Right now, I'm working on my Ph.D. at FSU in Linguistics."


The Tulip Trot isn't the only race run in Cascades Park. Notably, the Capital City Kiwanis Club hosts the Firecracker 5K in the park each Independence Day. It's a larger race than the Tulip Trot, but as Jim Halley noted, the Tulip Trot still holds one advantage.


"It's a lot easier to run here in January than in July," said Halley.


161 athletes finished the 2018 Tulip Trot 5K. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee chip-timed the race.

Halley and Sherron take the Bluebird 5K

Over the ages, the land east of Tallahassee, Florida that makes up the Alford Greenway has seen cattle ranching, cotton plantations, the Chaires Massacre, and thousands of years of pre-columbian activity. Nowadays, the human interaction with the 874-acre Greenway is mostly confined to hiking, running, and trail bicycling. There's also the occasional cross-country race, as there was on Monday morning, 4 September 2017. It was the second annual Bluebird 5K Run For Brookie B, and Jim Halley won the 3.1-mile event in 19:12. Katie Sherron took the women's title, placing third overall in 19:53.

Katie Sherron

It was actually the second attempt at a second annual Bluebird 5K. The inaugural race had gone off successfully on Labor Day, 2015. The 2016 race, however, was initially postponed and finally canceled due to damage from Hurricane Hermine. As restless as the tropics were in 2017, the Labor Day weather in Tallahassee was favorable for the revival of the Bluebird 5K.


The race got under way a few minutes after its scheduled starting time of 8:30 AM. After the initial scramble, Jim Halley emerged as the leader.

Jim Halley

"Five of them went out pretty hard," said Halley. "I went by them after the first hill."


Halley continued to lead, meeting a new challenge later in the race.


"Gary Droze crept on me a bit," said Halley. "I put in a second effort and pulled away."

Gary Droze

Leaving Droze behind, Halley went on to win in 19:12. Droze, the Tallahassee Community College cross-country coach, was the top master and second overall in 19:28. Paul Guyas took third in 19:57.


"It is tough," Halley said about the Alford Greenway course. "It's definitely not single-track tough, but you still have to watch every step like in a single-track race. I wish I had run high school cross-country. I might be better at this."


Better would always be nice, but on Labor Day at the Alford Greenway, Halley was good enough.

Hannah Hosay

Women's champ Katie Sherron also had a word or two about the course.


"It's very nice!" said Sherron. "It's cross-country, but I don't excel at cross-country. I prefer the roads."


In the early going, Sherron was behind some of the younger runners in the women's field. By the end of the first mile, though, she was fourth overall and leading the women's competition. Sherron moved up to third during the second half of the race, going on to take the women's title in 19:53. Hannah Hosay, a sophomore on the Maclay School cross-country team, was second in the women's standings and Jenna Flemons, an alumna of the Cardinal Gibbons cross-country program, was the third woman and fifteenth overall in 22:51. Monica Judd was the top woman master and sixth female finisher, 29th overall in 24:25.

Jenna Flemons

After the Bluebird 5K, Sherron is ready to return to the road racing she prefers. Where?


"Probably the Women's Distance Festival," said Sherron, referring to a 23 September 2017 race in Tallahassee's Indianhead Acres. "That's a good one. I like that course."
