Grounding hot tub

[Mikeeljudacan]

I am installing a new hot tub. The specs on the hot tub require a #8 ground and #8 red, black, and white. The question I have is can I run the 2 hots and neutral using 8/3 Romex in the attic and crawlspace and run the ground separately thhn/thwn but not in conduit since it's not a current carrying conductor??
