After winning the ING Marathon cheering section competition and a cool $10k in the race’s 2007 inaugural year, Decatur finished second to peppy arch rival (apparently) Candler Park this time around. Full results here.

But we don’t go home empty-handed. A second place finish means the city will receive $5k, which will go to the Decatur Education Foundation to fund “the Athletic Booster Club and Carter Wilson for sports and fitness program for Decatur students”. (from the May Decatur Focus – now online here)

Next year Candler Park…we’re comin’ for ya.
