Get ready to light up the night at the LIGHT UP THE CORNERS 4-Mile Glow Run & 1k Twilight Trot, returning to Peachtree Corners, GA, on August 15, 2026. This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant night-time running party and a fantastic fundraiser, promising an unforgettable experience for participants of all ages and paces. Taking place at The Forum on Peachtree Parkway, with the 4-Mile Glow Run's start and finish line nestled between Barnes & Noble and Talbots, the event transforms the area into a dazzling spectacle of motion and light.
What sets this event apart is its emphasis on fun over speed. The course itself glows, illuminated by blinking lights, and runners are encouraged to "glow up" with provided LED armbands, foam batons, and other bling, creating a truly unique and immersive atmosphere. Expect to join a diverse crowd; this multi-year event, founded by Amy Massey, is particularly popular with school-aged children and families, making it a healthy, fitness-focused, and family-friendly community activity. Whether you're tackling the 4-mile course or the shorter 1k (6/10 mile) Twilight Trot, strollers are welcome in the back, ensuring everyone can participate. Proceeds from the event benefit the Fowler YMCA's "WhY It Matters" campaign, supporting children and families in the community facing financial hardship.
As the sun sets, runners can anticipate typical August conditions with highs around 89°F and lows around 70°F, alongside a modest 16% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially refreshing evening glow. After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with "the BEST post-race party ever!" The Grand Plaza at The Forum hosts music, food, and drinks, including pizza, watermelon, and various tastings from local restaurants. Don't forget to deck yourself out in your brightest gear, as prizes are awarded for the "glowiest" male, female, boy, girl, and team!
