Organiser's Description

GET THE SPRING SEASON OFF TO A RUNNING START!!

Join The Oviedo Run Club for our 6TH ANNUAL SPRING RISING 5K, 10K AND KIDS' FUN RUN, benefiting underfunded educational gardens in our local schools. A portion of your registration will help provide the seeds, soil and supplies necessary to keep these learning grounds growing.

SUNRISE START TIME : APPROXIMATELY 7:30AM (5K AND 10K)



_THIS YEAR'S SHIRT GUARANTEED FOR REGISTRATIONS PRIOR TO MARCH 13TH. PAST RACE SHIRTS WILL BE USED AS SUPPLIES RUN OUT. _



GARDEN AND PLANT EXPO

Our post-race event will feature local gardening clubs, farms and nurseries to help guide and teach how to plan and care for the home garden. Walk through the vendor area for free gardening advice, cuttings and seeds.

Each finisher will receive an unforgettable and non-disposable finisher's award, sourced from local businesses.

The course is traditionally an out and back route that runs along the Cross Seminole Trail and past many important Oviedo landmarks. The trail was once the railroad that helped Oviedo become one of the country's largest supplier of watercress and celery.

Race packets will be full of practical items you'll be sure to use again, along with the best commemorative race shirt that ends up in everyone's regular running attire.

DON'T FORGET

PLEASE BRING A FOOD ITEM ON RACE DAY - food collected at the event will be donated to HOPE Helps, Inc. and local public school food pantries.

The Oviedo Run Club is committed to putting on a green event, which entails the use of compostable water cups, on site recycling and race packets that are full of useable items, not to be wasted.
