Lanier Islands Adds Second Holiday Lights 5K on November 15

Two races will give runners and walkers an early look at Magical Nights of Lights while supporting the Georgia Mountain Food Bank.

BUFORD, Ga. — Lanier Islands will hold two Dashing Through the Glow 5K events on Sunday, November 15, giving participants an early look at the resort’s Magical Nights of Lights display before its public opening on November 20.
