MARCH 15, 2014

Early bird pricing ends after February 28!

(and price goes up to $30 for all ages)

We are excited to announce that for the first time the Tour deCatur 5k will use timing chips giving you instant and accurate race results when you cross the finish line!

The Tour deCatur, now in its 12th year, gives participants the opportunity to run a 5k road race and/or a 1-mile fun run through neighborhoods of Decatur. This event started as a grassroots fundraiser for the Decatur Education Foundation and has grown into a community wide tradition with over 2500 participants. One registration fee allows participation in any of the events: 5k, 1 mile or Tot Trot. Funds raised by this event support Decatur youth by removing obstacles to education, fueling personal effort and supporting teacher innovation.

  • 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk: 8:45am
  • 5K Road Race/Walk: 9:15am
  • Tot Trot (age 4 and under): 10am

 

Staging Area: Decatur High School located at 310 N. McDonough Street, Decatur, GA 30030. Parking available in the Decatur HIgh upper lot off E. College Avenue or at Agnes Scott College.

Race route: Due to construction we will need to modify the race route and will post when finalized. Event will be held rain or shine and will only be cancelled due to severe conditions which would make the route unsafe.  NO refunds will be issued.

Tour deCatur is a qualifying run/walk event in the Team Decatur Grand Slam Fitness Challenge.

 

* T-shirts are NOT guaranteed for people registering after February 28th. Registration for all ages goes up to $30 after February 28, 2014.
