Saturday Filled with Fun at The Forum

It was a day of road races, childrens activities, food and music.

Saturday was a big day in Peachtree Corners. The Forum celebrated its 10th anniversary and threw a big party for the entire community.

The day kicked off with the inaugural Run the Corners 5k Race. Over 500 entered to run the 5k and 1k race. Proceeds from the race benefitted the Fowler YMCA's Partnership in Youth program.

"We had 413 people finish the 5k and 90 runners in the 1k," said Amy Massey, one of the race organizers.
