Everybody's favorite 5K will take to the trails once again on April 26, 2025!

We're excited to be accepting race applications and sponsorships for the 4th Annual Bright Ideas 5K sponsored by Cooperative Building Solutions. We will be back at beautiful Cypress Gardens on Saturday, April 26 with our unique mixed terrain course that winds its way through a blackwater swamp.

The race kicks off at 8 a.m. and helps raise money to directly benefit local teachers through our Bright Ideas educational grant program. Proceeds from the race fund grants of up to $1,500 to support innovative and effective classroom projects that aren't otherwise covered by the school. We will award the grants to the winning teachers during the race awards ceremony so be sure to stick around and show them some love!
