LIGHT UP THE CORNERS 4 MILE & 1K FUN TROT on AUG 16

Strap on your glowing bling & come light up the course with your friends and family!

July 27, 2014
If you are at The Forum on August 16th at 8:30PM, do not be alarmed... there has been no alien invasion! All of those strange glowing creatures that you see are part of the Light Up The Corners 4 Mile and 1K Fun Trot! 

What is LIGHT UP THE CORNERS?
A glowing, flashing, blinking, shining, night time running party and fundraiser in one! This event is sure to Light Up The (Peachtree) Corners AND Light Up A Life! All proceeds from the event go to benefit less fortunate children and families in our community who are struggling by giving them the chance to participate in life-enhancing programs and activities at the Fowler YMCA.
It's All about the fun!
The two events, the 4 Mile Run and 1k Twilight Trot, will be a one-of-a-kind night time experience that is less about how fast you run or walk and more about much fun you have! The course will be lined with blinking lights to illuminate the way and participants will be given glow sticks, a glow necklace, and other glow bling to light up the course as you run/walk. There will be contests for the "glowiest" men, women, boys, girls, and teams. So, strap on as much glowing bling as you can find and come light up the course with your friends and family! Whether you are a fast runner, a weekend jogger, or a casual walker you are invited to be a part of the first annual LIGHT UP THE CORNERS event.
