Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA Celebrates Successful Light Up the Corners Glow Run

The 11th annual race at The Forum attracts largest crowd in history

On August 10, over 1,700 people gathered at The Forum in Peachtree Corners for the 11th annual Light Up the Corners Glow Run and Twilight Trot benefiting the Fowler Family YMCA. This year’s event welcomed a record-breaking crowd of participants, sponsors and spectators and raised over $50,000 for the YMCA’s Why It Matters campaign.

“To witness over 1,600 glowing-flashing-sparkling runners and walkers was a thrill from start to finish,” said Light Up the Corners founder, Amy Massey. “But knowing this wonderful event enriches the lives of so many people in our community through the programs and services offered by the YMCA made it even better.”

The Forum showcased their new grand plaza and expanded gathering areas during the race, providing a perfect setting for this much-loved Peachtree Corners tradition.  

Roaming, glowing performers, a live DJ, games, Disney and Star Wars characters and face-painting made it an exciting, fun and family-friendly event.

North American Properties event coordinator, Charlotte Hinton added, “We’ve been blown away by the immense community support and feedback The Forum has received over the past two years, and we are proud The Forum continues serving as Peachtree Corners’ favorite spot to gather.”
