The weather is going to be beautiful so why not register for the Tour deCatur this Saturday, March 12.
Tour Decatur is a qualifying race in the Team Decatur Grand Slam Fitness Challenge. This is the last year you will be able to earn the coveted Team Decatur jacket!
The Tour deCatur, now in its 14th 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 2700 participants. One registration fee allows participation in any of the events – 5k, 1 mile or Tot Trot. Funds raised by this event support the children and youth of Decatur by providing educational and enrichment opportunities.
Registration and more information is here.
Please take a few minutes to complete this very short survey – we want your opinion on how to make our run/walk events better!

Decatur Active Living wants your opinion! In 2016 Team Decatur is promoting seven Run/Walk Events, each one to benefit a Decatur non-profit organization. All events are 5K (3.1 miles) distance and runner and walker friendly. Some of the races also include ancillary events catered to families and younger participants such as a “tot trot” and/or a one mile race. Always looking to improve, Active Living and Team Decatur would like community input regarding these run/walk events. Please complete the survey by March 19th. Take the survey here.
