Melissa Luke of Tifton, Georgia, had won the women's competition at the first Run For The Nurses in 2012. That year, though, the race was only 10K. Luke was back in 2014 to try the longer distance. She was just as successful racing 13.1 miles as she had been two years earlier racing 6.2 miles; Luke finished on top of the women's standings, placing eighth overall in 1:42:07. Brianna Prinsloo of Hahira, Georgia, was runner-up on the women's side, finishing 12th overall in 1:51:07. Kristina Gantt (14th, 1:53:13) was the third woman finisher, and Christal Greene (17th, 1:54:37) the fourth. The top woman master was the fifth female finisher, Tifton's Gina Purvis (18th, 1:54:48).
Proceeds from the Run For The Nurses benefit the Lisa Purvis Allison Spirit of Nursing Scholarship Fund at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
