Patrick Gallagher raced the Run For Haven 10K in 2015. The Gainesville, Florida athlete finished fourth in the race that year, running 42:12. Gallagher returned to the Run For Haven in 2016 and took the runner-up spot. On Saturday morning, 11 March 2017, Gallagher went yet again to the Run For Haven. This time the Gainesville master runner won the eighth annual ten-kilometer race by more than a kilometer, running 38:46. Similarly, in the women's competition the 2016 runner-up, Melissa Land, took the women's title in the 2017 10K, running 46:39. Sometimes you just have to keep trying.

Andrea Craine was second in the women's standings and seventh overall in 46:56. A few steps behind Craine at 47:01, Colleen Kearney was the first woman master and third female finisher, placing ninth overall.
