About the Spring Rising
The course follows the Cross Seminole Trail, an out-and-back on a former railroad corridor that runs past landmarks tied to Oviedo's agricultural past. The trail is paved and mostly flat, with open surroundings that make early morning starts feel spacious. The race benefits school gardens, and runners are asked to bring a food donation on race day for local pantries.
Packet pickup runs the two evenings before the race at a spot on Central Avenue, with race-morning pickup available at the start. The post-race area features a garden and plant expo where local farms, nurseries, and gardening clubs set up with free advice, cuttings, and seeds. Cash prizes go to the top finishers, with age group awards as well.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Spring Rising has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
