The Race for a Reason, formerly Race for Riley, is a 5K run/walk held on the cross country course at Heritage Christian Church in Fayetteville, just outside Peachtree City. You run on groomed grass, thru wood areas and around a scenic lake.

All proceeds collected from the Race for a Reason go to The Joseph Sams School. This will enable the school to continue in its mission of providing the best possible educational and therapeutic services to children who are intellectually, physically or developmentally challenged. There will be food, fun and activities for kids of all ages. Awards in the 5K to overall male and female, overall male and female master, and the top 3 finishers in 14 age groups (male and female).
