The Hurricane 5K is a breeze for Travis Boltjes and Viviana Schuyler

On Saturday morning, 21 May 2022, hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean was still nearly ten days away. It may not have been time for a storm in Tallahassee, Florida, but it was time for the Capital City Red Cross's annual Robin Lotane Hurricane 5K. Panama City, Florida master runner Travis Boltjes ran away from the field, covering the 3.1 miles through Tom Brown Park in 17:31. Viviana Schuyler of Bainbridge, Georgia took top honors for the women, placing seventh overall in 22:21.

Ryan Truchelut and Travis Boltjes

The race started in front of the American Red Cross building on Easterwood Drive. Travis Boltjes and Ryan Truchelut shared the lead initially. Truchelut, a Tallahassee meteorologist, had won the race in 2017, but during the second kilometer he realized that he wasn't going to be able to keep up with Boltjes. After Truchelut fell back, Boltjes opened a gap of more than 600 meters before crossing the finish line back at the Red Cross, first in 17:31. Truchelut was second in 20:06. In a close race for third, Tallahassee master runner Paul Guyas finished in 20:53, just ahead of Kenneth Gloeckner at 20:56 and Duane Evans at 20:57.


Viviana Schuyler, the women's champ, was a 2021 alum of Bainbridge High, where she was a standout on the school's cross-country team. Her 22:21 at the Red Cross 5K put her almost 200 meters ahead of the next woman in the race. Monica Toth of Tallahassee was the first woman master in the race, placing second in the women's standings and eighth overall in 23:09. Tallahassee's Martha Guyas was the third woman and seventeenth overall in 26:25.

Viviana Schuyler

64 athletes finished the Capital Area Red Cross's 2022 Robin Lotane Hurricane 5K. Southern Timing, LLC, of Orlando, Florida chip-timed the race.

Antonio Marchi rocks a 31:41 in the Crowdis 10K

10K records just don’t last in Blakely, Georgia. After a 10K race was added to the city’s annual Dr James Crowdis Run in 2017, the course records have fallen each year. In 2018 Dr Patrick Whitehead rolled to a 35:59 win, breaking his own 2017 course record of 36:24. Ann Centner topped the women’s competition in 2018 with a 41:32, demolishing the women’s course record of 54:43, established in 2017 by Katie Sheppard.


And on Saturday morning, 19 January 2019, at the 23rd Crowdis Run Antonio Marchi ran the 10K in 31:41, winning the race by more than two kilometers. In case you haven’t been following, that was also a new course record. There was a new women’s course record as well; sixteen-year-old Viviana Schuyler took the women’s title in 41:22, knocking off Centner’s 2018 mark while placing third overall.


The Crowdis Run began in 1981 as a 5K. The 5K is still part of the Crowdis, starting at the same time and following the same course as the 10K. The 2019 races started from Blakely First United Methodist Church with Antonio Marchi quickly bolting out ahead of the entire field, 5K and 10K runners alike. There must have been some excitement back at the church when Marchi came back into sight at the end of his first five-kilometer loop, with the spectators thinking that they were about to see the first sub-16:00 at Crowdis since 1992. Instead, they saw Marchi ignore the 5K finish line and turn back onto the course for another five kilometers of running. The next time Marchi appeared at the church he did cross the finish line, astonishing the onlookers with his winning 31:41. Most of the 5K field was still out on the course.


Myles Gibson of Donalsonville, Georgia was the first master runner in the race, placing second overall in 39:00, his second straight year in the runner-up spot. A prominent figure in Crowdis history, Gibson had won the 5K in 1993, 2014, and 2015. Master runner Jay Wrenn was third in the men's competition and fourth overall, running 47:18.


Viviana Schuyler had finished second to Ann Centner in the women's competition at the 2018 Crowdis. Centner wasn't at the race in 2019, having since moved from Blakely to Tallahassee, Florida. But if Schuyler couldn't race Centner then she could race Centner's record. The Bainbridge High sophomore cross-country runner did just that, trimming ten seconds off the women's course record with her 41:22. Adrian Parker was second to Schuyler in the women's standings, placing eleventh overall in 55:59. Chandra Hanson was the first woman master and third female finisher, fourteenth overall in 64:49.


Eighteen athletes finished the 2019 Dr. James H. Crowdis 10K.

Stokes Moore and Viviana Schuyler make the "nice" list at Bainbridge's Jingle Bell Jog

In Bainbridge, Georgia, the Bainbridge-Decatur County Recreation Authority decided to host a Jingle Bell Jog 5K. They scheduled the race for Earle May Boat Basin Park on Thursday evening, 20 December 2018, and invited everyone. They didn't invite the rain, but it came anyway.


Despite the damp conditions, Stokes Moore made it to the race. A Bainbridge High junior and member of his school's cross-country team, Moore won the race in 19:09. Viviana Schuyler, a sophomore on the Bainbridge High cross-country team, took the women's title, finishing third overall in 19:23.


Hayden Griffin was runner-up in the 3.1-mile race, running 19:19. Ridge Harper was the top master runner and third male finisher, placing fourth overall in 19:38.


Adrian Parker finished second in the women's standings, placing seventh overall in 25:43. Suzanne Angell was the first woman master and third female finisher, eighth overall in 27:00.


Coming out to play in the rain wasn't without its compensations. Not only did the athletes get to run a 5K race, but they enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa afterwards. Plus, the awards were presented by Santa.


Eighteen athletes finished Bainbridge, Georgia's 2018 Jingle Bell Jog 5K.

Ridge Harper and Viviana Schuyler use their trotters at the Swine Time 5K

There was no Swine Time Run in 2017. Sometimes a 10K and sometimes a 5K, the race had been held in Climax, Georgia annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving since the late 1970s. But on Saturday morning, 24 November 2018, the Swine Time Run was back. Bainbridge, Georgia master runner Ridge Harper won the 5K race, running 19:55. Viviana Schuyler, a sophomore on the Bainbridge High cross-country team, took first in the women's division, placing third overall in 20:20.


After skipping 2017, the Swine Time Run wasn't unchanged. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee, Florida timed the race, the first time that the Swine Time had been professionally timed. The course was also USATF-certified, another first in four decades of Swine Time history.


Not far behind Harper, master runner Duane Evans was second overall in 20:01. Landon Watts, a frosh athlete on the Bainbridge High cross-country team, placed third in the men's standings and fourth overall in 20:55.


Madison Sims, a sixth-grader on the Fort Braden Middle School cross-country team, took second on the women's side and and twelfth overall in 25:39. Adrian Parker was third in the women's division and fifteenth overall in 26:48. The top woman master was Juli DeGrummond, the fifth female finisher and seventeenth overall in 27:49.


47 athletes finished the 2018 Swine Time 5K. Look for the race and the Swine Time Festival to return on Saturday morning, 30 November 2019.
