About the Ritz-Carlton Winter GLO 5k
The course runs along the back nine of a championship golf course inside a large resort property, so the surroundings are manicured and open rather than urban. The route winds through the grounds rather than following a road grid, which gives it a different feel from a typical road race. Pre- and post-race yoga is on the schedule, along with champagne, mimosas, snacks, and Theragun massage at the finish.
Check-in is in the Valencia Courtyard, just outside the spa on the resort grounds. Self-parking is free; valet is available at both the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott entrances. Packet pickup and check-in open well before the start, so there is no need to rush.

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.

The Ritz-Carlton Winter GLO 5k has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
