Light Up the Corners – A Fun Way to Help Our Community
Light Up the Corners is a one-of-a-kind nighttime experience with two events: the 4 Mile Glow Run and the 1K Twilight Trot. In these two events, the course will be lined with blinking lights, illuminating your path. All participants will also be given glow lights to light up the course as they walk or run.
Because the main concept of Light Up the Corners is to have fun lighting up the streets, there will be contests for the “glowiest” boys, girls, men, women, and teams. So, don’t forget to strap on as much glow bling as you can find!
But keep in mind that Light Up the Corners is not only about having fun. While you’ll definitely have a great time, these events are also about helping our community. As such, all proceeds from the events will benefit the at-risk children and families around Peachtree Corners. The money will be used to give these people a chance to participate in various life-enhancing activities and programs at the Fowler YMCA.
Overall, these two events will not only light up Peachtree Corners but will also light up lives as well. Remember, this event is not only for those who can run fast; weekend joggers, casual walkers, or any anyone who wants to help our community is welcome to join the 4 Mile Glow Run and 1K Twilight Trot.
