The Spring Rising 2027

The Spring Rising, organized by the Oviedo Run Club, serves a local purpose: entry fees fund seeds and soil for educational gardens at nearby schools. Race packets contain reusable items and the event shirt. Participants are also encouraged to bring a food donation for local charities. The route uses the historic Cross Seminole Trail, a path once used for transporting watercress and celery. Following the run, the Garden and Plant Expo features local gardening experts offering advice and free cuttings. Finishers receive a locally sourced award. The event also emphasizes sustainability through compostable cups and recycling.
