WHY 7.2K?
As an homage to our beloved Florida springs and their constant average temperature of 72 degrees, all profits benefit the Florida Springs Institute. The Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute is an educational non-profit in High Springs dedicated to ensuring the wise management and restoration of Florida Springs and the aquifer that we all depend upon for our water supply. The Springs Run directly funds FSIs SpringsWatch citizen science program that provides volunteers with hands-on training in the field. That field is Floridas beautiful springs! Volunteers learn all aspects of water quality monitoring and get to know the wildlife and plants that depend on springs systems.
