Lightning Run

On October 26, 2024, over 500 runners raced on this fast, flat course – an official Peachtree qualifier!

This is a video that Fulton County Schools created to celebrate the race. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

 

More Information

Sandy Springs Education Force has been at the forefront of supporting the educational successes of financially vulnerable students in Sandy Springs for over a decade. With support from our sponsors, we provide targeted educational outreach programs that make a difference for public school students in Sandy Springs. In the past few years, we created new programs and adapted to address pandemic-related needs.

For example, we doubled our High Demand Career Fair, expanded our successful Summer Book Club to ensure students did not lose their reading gains over the summer break, launched a very successful tutoring program and kept engaged with our community. Thank you for supporting our race.

We are thrilled that the Lightning Run was a big success again this year and we are excited to be planning for 2025. Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and everyone who came out to support the run!

We do seek sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring the race, contact our Executive Director, Irene Schweiger: [email protected].

 

We especially appreciate Fulton County Schools Communications for creating this terrific recap.
