Run With the Dogs A BIG Success

Over 200 Runners "Ran with the Dogs"

Last weekend’s Run With the Dogs,  hosted by the Decatur Booster Club, was a resounding  success. (Yes, I have to say it: “It was a dog-gone success”!) Chair Bill Ainslee reports that the race was a success in both terms of participation and money raised for the high school and middle school sports programs. The race drew approximately 220 runners, a  number much higher than past years. Mr. Ainslee said that one of the contributing factors to the higher number of runners was the participation of the City’s Active Living Department and our Grand Slam Fitness Challenge. The Run with the Dogs was the first in the series.
