Florida State University undergraduate and former Viera High School distance runner Jonathan Campbell won the Run Wild 5K at Tallahassee's Apalachee Regional Park on Saturday morning, 28 September 2013. Nineteen-year-old Campbell covered the 3.1-mile cross-country course in 17:59, finishing comfortably ahead of runner-up Gary Robinson. Robinson's time for the race was 18:41. Albert Reed was third in 19:28.Coming in fourth overall, Tallahassee lawyer Sheryl Rosen was the first female finisher, running 19:47 and crossing the finish line almost 800 meters ahead of her nearest rival in the women's competition. The runner-up on the women's side was Grace Jackson, 13th overall in 23:24.
Just ahead of Jackson, 12th overall in 23:23, Jason Wright was the first master finisher in the race. The top woman master was Laura Reina, at 25:17 the fifth female finisher.
It was the third annual Run Wild, but the first to be run on the Apalachee Regional Park cross-country course. The previous two Run Wild events were held miles away in Tallahassee's Phipps Park. The 2011 and 2012 races had also been 6K runs during the spring; the 2013 Run Wild was a fall season 5K. Staged by the Wildlife Alert Award Association, this year's Run Wild also had the distinction of being the first race at Apalachee Regional Park this fall. Before the cross-country season is over, ARPXC will be the venue for the Leon County Middle School cross-country championship, the FSU cross-country invitational, a FHSAA district cross-country meet, the Florida State High School cross-country championships, the FACA High School Senior All-Star Cross-Country meet, and Gulf Winds Track Club's Tannenbaum Trail 6K.
