The Ritz-Carlton Winter GLO 5k is a 5-kilometer run and walk at Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. It is open to resort guests and the public, welcoming all ages, so participants can include walkers, families, casual runners, and those enjoying a resort morning. Check-in and registration are located at the Valencia Lawn and Courtyard, between the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton Spa.
The course follows the back nine of a Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, guiding runners and walkers through the resort grounds instead of city streets. The race incorporates wellness activities: yoga before and after the 5k, healthy snacks at the finish, mimosas or champagne, and on-site licensed therapists providing stretching and percussion massage. The event village features over 10 vendors and experience stations. Registered participants receive a shirt, finisher medal, and goodie bag, with raffle prizes including massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and spa gift bags.
