Canete won the race by over 200 meters. It was his second time running the Sizzler; he had finished runner-up to Stan Linton in the 2022 event. At 18:24, Tallahassee's Ryan Truchelut finished second to Canete. Not far behind, Brad Busboom of Tallahassee was third in 18:30.
Like Canete, Laura McDermott was also running her second Sizzler, but her first had been way back in 2010. After McDermott, two Franklin County High cross-country runners broke the Tallahassee stranglehold on the top places. Frosh year athlete Addyson Paul was second in the women's standings, placing thirteenth overall in 24:05, while eighth-grader Isabella Polous was the third woman and fifteenth overall in 24:20. Master runner Stephanie Liles-Weyant, women's champ of the 2008 Sizzler, was the fourth woman in the 2023 race, coming in seventeenth overall in 24:30.
80 athletes finished the 2023 Sizzler 5K. Miles and Minutes, LLC, of Tallahassee, Florida chip-timed the race. The Sizzler was a fundraiser for the Elder Care Community Council of Franklin County.
