After three years as a June race, the Lowndes County 4-H club moved their fourth annual "Run 4 tHe Revolution" 5K to 1 March 2014. The change in the calendar seemed to agree with Andrew Elam.

Kelly, a cross-country coach at Valdosta Middle School, was runner-up in 17:50.5. Nathan Smith of Valdosta was third in 21:43.Finishing third overall, Makenzee Page of Ray City, Georgia, was the first female finisher, covering the course in 21:08. Page had finished third in the women's standing in the 2013 Run For The Revolution 5K. Repeating as women's runner-up, Valdosta runner Elizabeth Smith was fifth overall in 22:21. Third for the women was Alison Thornhill of Valdosta, sixth overall in 22:28.
