Run the Resort 5K

Labor Day Weekend! A unique 5K experience where participants run or walk through the beautifully manicured resort grounds, weaving past lakes, golf fairways, gardens, and historic architecture. It’s more than a race — it’s an experience. Participants can also take on the 2026 Two Course Challenge by participating in Run the Resort on Labor Day Weekend and Run the Course in the spring.

One unforgettable challenge. Register for both at once and save 10% on each race!
