Publix Marathon is March 17: Volunteer at the Water Station

For the sixth year, Decatur will host a water station for the Publix Georgia Marathon on Sunday morning, March 17.  (Yes,St. Patrick’s Day!) Decatur Active Living Board members Michael Harbin and Kelly Walsh are coordinating volunteers for the water station.  Once again, we will provide water, Gatorade and encouragement to 3,000+ marathon participants as they pass through Decatur at the halfway point in their 26.2 mile personal challenge. Our goal is to have 30 volunteers. 

The water station will be set up on Clairemont across from the Courtyard Marriott with Decatur DJ, Bo Emerson, providing the soundtrack! The music alone is worth it.  Volunteers arrive at 6:00AM and are finished about 10:30AM.  If you are up for a unique Sunday morning experience and for helping to show Decatur’s hospitality to these marathoners, email Michael at mharbin9@gmail.com for sign-up instructions. Please sign up as soon as possible.  Michael and Kelly hope to have a full crew by Friday, February 15. Thanks so much for once again helping to show our hometown hospitality. Oh yeah, you get a free Publix Marathon T-shirt for volunteering!!
