## About

The Ritz-Carlton Spa at Grande Lakes hosts a holiday-week 5K that can be walked or run on the resort grounds, open to both resort guests and the general public and billed as a family event for all ages. Registration includes an event T-shirt, a finisher medal and a goodie bag; after the race there are snacks, stretching and massage-gun sessions, and a raffle for spa treatments. Adults are offered champagne or mimosas. Packet pick-up opens at 6:30 AM and the race starts promptly at 7:30 AM, so plan for an early start the day after Christmas. Children 12 and under pay a reduced entry fee. Registration is through RunSignup.
