Butzin had placed second at the Scissors 5K in 2015 and third in 2016, but this was his first win at the race.

Alan Sanderson was the first master runner in the race, coming in sixth overall in 22:07.
Like Butzin, women's champ Elizabeth Smith had some history at the Scissors 5K. Smith had placed second to master runner Alice Smoot in the women's standings of the 2016 race, running 21:57. Returning in 2017, Smith trimmed eighteen seconds off her previous year's time to claim the women's crown. Kelly Davis was second to Smith on the women's side, placing seventh overall in 22:59. Pollyanna Bass was the top woman master and third female finisher, ninth overall in 23:06.
