Organiser's Description
Get ready for some wintertime fun on Saturday, December 20 for the 5th annual GL"UHWEIN GALLOP 5K RUN/WALK! Taking place during the Carmel Christkindlmarkt festivities at Carter Green, the event draws its name from the German word Gl"uhwein (pronounced 'glue vine'), which translates to Glowing Wine in English.
