"That woman" Katie Sherron scores a 1:27:12 win in the Tails & Trails Half Marathons

Lafayette Heritage Park was near the ten-mile mark of the 2023 Tails and Trails Half Marathon. On Saturday morning, 6 May 2023, I arrived at the park a bit more than an hour after the start of the race. A cyclist was already there.


"That woman was way ahead," he said. "No one else has come by."


I nodded agreement. We waited another minute.


"Have you seen anyone else go by?" he asked.

Katie Sherron

I hadn't. It was a long wait for the next athlete, because "that woman," Katie Sherron, ended up winning the trail race by almost six minutes, running 1:27:12. Kyle Kraeft was the first male finisher, placing second overall in 1:33:04.


Founded years ago as the annual five-kilometer Furry Scurry, Tails and Trails has grown to include a 10K, a half marathon, and a one-mile fun run. In 2023 the half marathon was first on the program, starting a few minutes after 7:30 AM. A few meters into the race, Katie Sherron was already leading, racing downhill toward the woods and the Cadillac Trail. Edward Nabong and Kyle Kraeft followed closely, but it wasn't long before Sherron had dropped her escort.


"About two miles or so," she recalled.

Kyle Kraeft

After that, racing through Lafayette Heritage Park to the Alford Greenway and back, Sherron's only company was the scenery and the wildlife, including a Lake Lafayette alligator.


"I saw one out there!" she said. "It was cool. On the land bridge on the way back."


Back on higher ground some miles later, Sherron crossed the finish line first overall in 1:27:12, as well as the first master runner and the first woman.


Tallahassee trail runner Kyle Kraeft led the men's field, placing second overall in 1:33:04. Edward Nabong was the men's runner-up, coming in third overall in 1:35.06. Brennan Ausloos was the third man in, fourth overall in 1:35:21. Jack McDermott was the first male master and the fifth male finisher, sixth overall in 1:38:01. Less than three weeks earlier, "Marathon Jack" had run 3:24:06 in the Boston Marathon.

Morgan Wilson

Morgan Wilson took second in the women's standings, placing sixteenth overall in 1:47:00. A cross-country runner at Florida Gateway College, Wilson had raced in another half marathon in Tallahassee the previous November--the NJCAA National Championship Half Marathon, where she was 38th in 1:44:44. Behind Wilson, Emma Huggins was the third woman in the race, placing seventeenth overall in 1:48:10.


68 athletes finished the 2023 "Tails and Trails" half-marathon.

Moore and Hadden follow the Education For Life 5K to Tom Brown Park

“This is the eighth year,” said Mickey Moore. “I think I’ve run it five times.”


If anyone should know, it would be Moore. He was talking about the Southern Scholarship Foundation’s Education For Life 5K, an annual event which he founded in 2010 when he was the Foundation’s president. Moore not only ran the race five times, he won it twice, most recently on Saturday morning, 8 April 2017, when he was first across the finish line in 18:20. Michelle Hadden won the women’s title that day, placing eighth overall in 22:31.

Mickey Moore and Alex McDonald

From 2010 to 2016, the Education For Life 5K had been contested on the Florida State University campus. But FSU football’s spring game was on campus the same day as the 2017 race, so the 5K had to find a new venue--the roads and paved trails of Tom Brown Park.


The race began at 8:00 AM and the runners thundered onto the Goose Pond Trail. Moore and Alex McDonald, an alumnus of the Milton High cross-country team, shot to the front.


“It was a fast start,” said Moore. “Because Alex, who lives in my old scholarship house, and I were racing each other. We had really battled last year.”

The race begins

In that 2016 race Moore and McDonald had been fighting over sixth place. This time the title was at stake. The two ran close together for the first half of the race, but during the second half Moore pulled away, going on to win in 18:20. McDonald was second in 18:34. FSU student Matthias Laywell, formerly a John Paul II Catholic High cross-country runner, took third in 19:23.


Just as Moore had run the Education For Life 5K before, so had women’s champ Michelle Hadden, who had raced the event in 2012. How did Hadden think the Tom Brown course compared with the campus route?


“I like this course,” said Hadden. “There are fewer hills.”

Matthias Laywell

Even though the Tom Brown Park course was less hilly, there were still some climbs, especially late in the race. Hadden may have disliked the slopes, but it was on the hills where she got her win. Megan Gerrard led the women’s field for most of the race, but Hadden weathered the up-and-down on the third mile better than the leader. With the finish line looming, Hadden overtook Gerrard and raced home, first in the women’s standings at 22:31.


“I was just trying to follow the two people in front of me,” said Hadden. “I guess they faded.”


Gerrard was the women’s runner-up and tenth overall in 22:41. Kaeli McClenahan was the third female finisher and fifteenth overall in 23:37.

Michelle Hadden

It was Gerrard’s first time racing the Education For Life 5K, but as a Southern Scholarship Foundation house resident she had attended the race before.


“It’s my first time running, but I live here so I’ve been cheering for three years,” explained Gerrard.


At each Education For Life 5K, the residents of the scholarship houses turn out to cheer the runners. The 2017 race was miles from campus, but the students made the trek to Tom Brown to offer support and encouragement, even on parts of the course deep in the woods. It wasn’t the Boston Marathon’s 26.2 miles of applause, but it was as much cheering as an athlete will ever experience in a Tallahassee road race. It didn’t go unappreciated.


“I haven’t been around these kids for a year now but they still know my name,” said Moore. “It means so much to hear them cheering me by name.”


181 athletes finished the eighth annual Education for Life 5K. Gulf Winds Track Club chip-timed the race.

Moore and Thompson were ready for anything at the Race For Readiness

On Saturday morning, 1 October 2016, Eric Godin was racing through the streets of the Southwood section of Tallahassee, Florida. It was the Early Learning Coalition's third annual Race For Readiness 5K. Godin was familiar with the course, so he was running with confidence. About 600 meters into the race, though, that confidence was shaken when the leaders--Mickey Moore and Jim Halley--ran through the intersection with Park Crossing Trail.


"We turn here," called out Godin.


Moore and Halley glanced around, saw no course marking indicating that they shouldn't go straight, and continued onward.


"I guess they changed the course," muttered Godin, and followed the leaders.


Intentionally or not, the course had been changed, or at least the route as marked was different from the USATF-certified course that had been announced for the race.


Shrugging off course concerns, master runner Mickey Moore went on to win the race in 18:14. Layla Thompson took the women's title for the second year in a row, placing thirteenth overall in 23:43.

Mickey Moore

Moore, the president of the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Foundation, ran with Jim Halley for the first half of the race. A little past the midpoint of the run, Moore broke away, eventually building up an eight-second lead on the way to his 18:14 win. Halley was second in 18:22. Eric Godin gained on Halley late in the race, but couldn't quite close and finished third in 18:25.


Layla Thompson led the women's field nearly from the start, and her time of 23:43 put her nearly a minute ahead of the next female finisher. Thompson, a sixth-grader, races on the Deerlake Middle School cross-country team.


"I actually really like cross-country," said Thompson. "It's a lot of fun and it helps me with soccer."


The middle school cross-country races, however, are shorter than 5K races like the Race For Readiness.


"I haven't run a 5K in a long time and I've been racing two miles in cross-country," said Thompson. "So it was different and weird to do a 5K again."

Layla Thompson

Tallahassee master runner Krista Killius was second in the women's standings and seventeenth overall in 24:39. Paula O'Neill was the third woman and nineteenth overall in 24:57.


206 athletes finished the 2016 Run For Readiness 5K, the most in the three-year history of the race. An additional 93 athletes finished the associated one-mile fun run.

No first-time jitters for Kaiser or Churchill in the Thomasville Road Baptist Church 10K

Saturday morning, 5 March 2016 wasn't the first time that Nate Kaiser had raced the annual Thomasville Road Baptist Church 10K. In 2013 Kaiser had placed second to Chris Lake in the 6.2-mile race. However, Kaiser's performance in the 2016 10K was faster, a 34:18, and it earned him his first Thomasville Road Baptist Church Road Race win. For Swift Creek Middle School cross country runner Alyson Churchill the race was her first 10K ever, but she debuted at the distance with a 40:16, taking the women's title and placing sixteenth overall.

The eleventh-annual race started and finished in the parking lot of the church. Vince Molosky, who had won the race in 2007 and 2010, set the early pace. Donalsonville, Georgia master runner Myles Gibson was right on his heels. Somewhat farther back, Nate Kaiser followed them patiently.


"I was just taking it easy," said Kaiser.


It wasn't easy enough for Gibson, who fell off the pace somewhere during the second kilometer. After three kilometers Molosky similarly started to fade.


"Just after the second mile he seemed to slow down," said Kaiser. "We went around a corner and then I was in the lead. He was there and then he wasn't."

Kaiser pushed for home, building up a lead of more than 300 meters on the way to his 34:18 win. Master runner Bryan Koon overtook Molosky to finish runner-up in 35:30. Molosky ended the race third in 35:46, just ahead of the 35:55 posted by fourth-place finisher Zach DeVeau.


Alyson Churchill has a varied racing resume that includes 5K road races, two-mile cross country runs, and trail races of up to five miles. The day before the Thomasville Road Baptist Church Road Race, she had won a 1600-meter and a 3200-meter track race. Churchill had never raced anything as long as a 10K before, though.


"We've been training at the Greenway," explained Churchill. "I've been running longer distances so I thought I'd try it in a race."


"I liked it a lot," she concluded.

There's nothing not to like about winning, and Churchill won the female division handily, finishing nearly 300 meters ahead of the next woman. Only two other women have run faster than Churchill's 40:16 in the eleven-year history of the race--Lisa Johnson (40:04) and two-time winner Sheryl Rosen (38:40).


Anna Busby was second to Churchill in the women's standings, coming in 24th overall in 41:25. Jillian Heddaeus and Brittney Barnes were the next two women in the race, 35th overall in 43:50 and 38th overall in 44:26. Angela Dempsey was the top woman master and eighth female finisher, 54th overall in 47:16.

9. 47:33.25 ~ Laura Reina (F, 51)
10. 47:45.85 ~ Tsige Tadesse (F, 43)

Leading from start to finish, master runner Mickey Moore won the 5K race that was run concurrently with the 10K, running 18:25. However, Moore was so far ahead that the runners trailing him couldn't see him. Most if not all of them missed a critical turn and ended up running farther than the posted distance, closer to six kilometers than to five. Aaron Taylor was one of the unfortunates, finishing runner-up in 24:57. Megan Churchill took the women's title, coming in seventh overall in 27:17. Her younger sister, Paige Churchill, was second in the women's standings and eighth overall in 27:26. Sharon Crews was the first woman master and fourth female finisher, seventeenth overall in 29:16.

250 athletes finished the 10K and 254 the 5K. Tallahassee, Florida's Gulf Winds Track Club chip-timed both races.

Moore and Wilson emerge from Miccosukee Hills as winners

If ever a name for a real estate development was appropriate, it's Miccosukee Hills in Tallahassee, Florida. There may be a patch of level ground on the tract between Miccosukee Road and Centerville Road, but you'd be hard pressed to locate it. Three of the five kilometers of TMH For Life Challenge Winter 5K passed through that neighborhood on Saturday morning, 9 January 2016, but none of the runners reported finding anything but slopes. Of course, they might not be reliable witnesses--many of them claimed to have seen only uphills.


But if anyone wasn't put off by the hills, it was Tallahassee master runner Mickey Moore. Moore, the president of the Southern Scholarship Foundation, won the second annual race in 18:44, leading from start to finish. Nor was the topography a problem for Kayla Wilson. A Florida State University student and an emergency room tech at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, Wilson took the women's title, placing fourth overall in 21:55.

Before reaching Miccosukee Hills, the race started near Tallahassee Memorial Hospital on Medical Drive. The runners quickly turned onto Miccosukee Road, with Mickey Moore already in the lead. A few steps back Kayla Wilson was running in second. By the turn into Miccosukee Hills at the end of the first kilometer, Moore had opened a gap of more than 150 meters. Wilson, meanwhile, was being closely followed by two of the Harris brothers of Bainbridge, Georgia--Kyle, a fourth-year distance runner for Berry College, and Chase, a first-year distance man at Maryville University.


Coming out of Miccosukee Hills with a kilometer to go, Kyle Harris and Chase Harris had moved into second and third, but Mickey Moore was even farther ahead. That story didn't change on the way to the finish line--Moore won the race by nearly 300 meters, running 18:54. Kyle Harris was second in 19:51.09, and Chase Harris third in 19:52.00.

Although Kayla Wilson slipped to fourth overall during the race, she wasn't challenged for the women's title, which she won in 21:55. Ten-year-old Layla Thompson was second in the women's standings, placing ninth overall in 24:20. Immediately behind Thompson, Deborah Congdon was the top woman master and third female finisher, tenth overall in 24:35.


Just a little over a year ago, Wilson had been running on the Gainesville High cross country team. For her, this race was a stepping-stone to upcoming efforts.


"I'm racing the Five Points Half Marathon in Gainesville next month," said Wilson. "5K races are not my thing."


Their thing or not, 182 athletes finished the second annual TMH For Life Challenge Winter 5K. The race series continues throughout the year with the TMH For Life Challenge Spring 5K on 30 April 2016, a summer 5K on 23 July 2016, and a fall 5K on 22 October 2016.
