The Oviedo Run Club hosts the Annual Spring Rising event to support underfunded educational gardens in local schools. Participants' registration fees contribute to providing seeds, soil, and supplies for these gardens. Following the race, a Garden and Plant Expo offers guidance on home gardening. Each participant receives a locally-sourced finisher's award. The event follows a scenic route along the Cross Seminole Trail. Attendees are encouraged to donate food items for local charities. The event emphasizes sustainability, using compostable water cups and reusable race packet contents.
