Are you all ready for Tour deCatur this Saturday?
No? We’ll attempt to help…
The event kicks off Saturday morning with the 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk at 8:30a, followed by the 5k at 9a and the “Tot Trot” at 10am. Staging area is Decatur High School at 310 N. McDonough. On-site, race day registration will begin at 7:45am.
You can view the map for this year’s 5k HERE. The Tour deCatur benefits the Decatur Education Foundation.
But there’s more! There are two pre-race locations to pick up your race number and t-shirt ahead of time.
First, on Thursday March 10th you can pick up your number and shirt at Fleet Feet at 421 West Ponce from 4p-7p.
Second, you can pick up your number and shirt at the “Tour deCatur EXPO” at Ebster Recreation Center at 404 W. Trinity on Friday, March 11 from 4p-7:30p. If you show up for this event, you will also be able to watch a bunch of good-sport CSD teachers take a pie in the face. You can find more pre-race info and the full list of teachers HERE.
Though race #s and shirts will be available on Saturday, due to the expected high turnout, they are strongly urging everyone to pick up their race # in advance if at all possible. According to the DEF website, “Picking up your number and shirt in advance will allow you to bypass the lines on Saturday morning and go straight to the football field at Decatur High School, which will be the waiting area for both the 1-mile and 5k races.”
