The ING Georgia Marathon will be coming through the City of Decatur this Sunday, March 21 and as in past years we will be competing in the Neighborhood Challenge. Six neighborhood organizations along the course will cheer for the participants at Neighborhood Cheering Zones and compete for award grants for neighborhood fitness initiatives. The City will use the prize to begin a new walking program, Walk There, Decatur!
Join us on Ponce de Leon Avenue along the sidewalks north of the Old Courthouse Square. We will have some “cheering” supplies, but feel free to bring along noise makers to spur the runners on! We will begin gathering at 7 am; the runners will be in Decatur by 7:30 am. And of course, wear orange!
Grab some coffee and let’s show the runners that Decatur rocks!
