By combining a commitment to fitness with a unique fundraising campaign, Shady Grove and the Spring Zing have attracted local and national media attention. The event has been featured in Runner's World magazine and the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the school’s physical fitness program received the American Running Association’s Youth Fitness Honor Award in June 2005.  The race has also received both local and national television coverage on multiple occasions.
