Dashing through the Glow 5K at Lanier Islands

✨ The Magic is Back --- Join us for Dashing Through the Glow 5k ✨

For nearly 30 years, Georgians and visitors celebrated the beloved Magical Nights of Lights at Lanier Islands Resort. After a five-year hiatus, this cherished tradition returns—bigger and brighter than ever. 

Be among the first to experience it in a truly unique way: run or walk through Lanier Islands’ Magical Nights of Lights before it opens to the public. Capacity is limited to 1,500 participants, so register early to secure your spot.

Start Time: 5:45 PM (right at dusk)

Experience Includes:

• Updated Christmas light displays along the course
• Crewneck Sweatshirt Included OR Upgrade to a Hoodie
• Santa Claus bobblehead trophies for overall and age-group winners
• Custom finisher medals for all registered participants

**Participants can also add a Keepsake Ornament during registration to commemorate their 2025 event! **
