The overall winner, Scott Oberst, completed the 5k in 16:52, winning free cupcakes for a year from Sweet by Holly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many participants dressed up in cupcake costumes ranging from cupcake print dresses to cupcake-themed printed t-shirts, all vying for the prizes awarded to the Best Cupcake Costume, Most Icing (most decorative accessories), Best Family Ensemble and Best Team Costume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Money raised from the Cupcake Run stays local, benefitting Girls on the Run of Northeast Florida.
