Celebrating Bentley‑Grace Hicks and Race 4 Grace 2025

This year we’re honored to recognize Bentley‑Grace Hicks, our Philanthropy Award recipient, for her extraordinary leadership and impact. Despite early medical predictions that she would never walk, talk, or breathe unaided, Bentley‑Grace defied the odds. She discovered her passion for long-distance racing as a Chair‑Athlete in 2015 and has since completed more than 100 races, achieved a Guinness World Record, and helped redefine what’s possible for people of all abilities.

Her creation, the Race 4 Grace, is her gift to Running City USA—a platform for anyone and everyone to push past barriers and live a “Yes You Can” life. 

Join us for the 5th Annual Race 4 Grace – Atlanta on Saturday, November 15 2025 at 9:00 AM at ASW Distillery (199 Armour Drive NE, Suite C, Atlanta, GA 30324). Run, walk, or cheer—and help us continue this movement of inclusion, empowerment, and celebration.

Together, we’re proving that ability isn’t defined by limitations—and that every person has the right to experience competition, joy, and triumph.
