Originally scheduled for 9:00 AM ET, then rescheduled the night before for 9:45 AM ET, the race ended up starting close to 9:15. There was no scheduling uncertainty about Tony Guillen's arrival at the finish line, though. The Tallahassee master runner was the first to finish the 3.1-mile race, clocking a precise 18:24. FSU Army ROTC cadet Alexander Spook followed Guillen into the finish, taking the runner-up spot in 18:40. Peter Kaus was third in 19:00, and Tony Berardi ran 19:35 for fourth. FAMU ROTC's Peter Falcone took fifth in 20:05.
Tony Guillen finished the race with a lead of over 150 meters, but the margin was much narrower in the female competition. Holy Comforter Episcopal School cross-country runners Molly McCann and Katherine Resavage were just a step or two apart as the end of the 5K approached. McCann pulled ahead just before the finish line, prevailing over Resavage 22:56 to 22:57. The two runners finished 13th and 14th overall respectively. At 23:52 Fairview Middle School cross-country alumna Talise Jager-Sumner was the third female. In a battle for fourth, Sarah Mrazek edged out Holy Comforter's Gray Kinch 24:01 to 24:03.
In spite of the mix-up about the starting time and a record rainfall the night before, over 200 athletes finished the inaugural Warrior Walk 5K. Proceeds from the race went to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
