Despite being a little gray and chilly, Sunday morning was a perfect day to run a marathon! It was also a perfect day to be in Decatur, cheering on the runners, and making people realize just how amazing our little City really is!
Thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer and cheer! Here is just one email that a runner sent to our City Manager, Peggy Merriss:
“I wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for the incredible welcome that your City gave to participants of the Georgia Marathon. I traveled from Orlando and it was one of the highlights of my trip.
I have a background in Local Government in Florida related to Planning and Engineering. I was impressed with the City. I was also extremely impressed by the enthusiasm your City had for the marathon participants. I really left feeling that Decatur has a strong sense of community and that it would be a great place to live or work. Congratulations again. I think your efforts will continue to pay dividends in the years to come.”
Volunteers set up the Hydration Station in front of the Holiday Inn
These guys were the best entertainment!
