About the Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class

The course runs along the back nine of a championship golf course at Grande Lakes Resort, so you are looking at manicured fairways and open sky for most of the run. The terrain is the kind you find on a golf course: gently rolling, mostly grass and cart paths, with none of the pavement and traffic of a road race.

Packet pickup and check-in open race morning in the Valencia Courtyard, near the spa. Parking is available on-site, both self-park and valet. After the run, there are mimosas, champagne, and snacks at the finish, plus a restorative yoga session and a recovery area with massage tools run by resort therapists.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 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.

Common Questions About the The Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class

Will I finish last at the Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 44:10, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:36:24, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class a good first 5K?

A field of 264 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class?

The 5K winner ran 19:26 while the median finisher took 44:10. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Ritz-Carlton Gobbler 5K & Master Yoga Class?

Join a local run club. Orlando Runners Club, Home State Run Club, Park Brewing Run Club and others in Orlando welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
