The City of Decatur’s Katie Abel writes on The Decatur Minute…

The Publix Georgia Marathon is coming through the City of Decatur this Sunday morning, March 20th and we would love to have you participate! Decatur has a great history of participating in the Neighborhood Challenge and since it has started, we have won over $15,000 in prize money to go towards fitness initiatives in Decatur.

Decaturites are needed to come to the official cheering station on Ponce de Leon adjacent to the Old Courthouse Square on Sunday morning at 7:30 am to help cheer the runners on. Don your GREEN clothes and come out with a noise maker, signage, and/or a musical instrument. Let’s make noise so the runners remember our city. Runners are going to vote for their favorite Hydration Stations and their favorite Cheering Section so we want them to remember us! Prize money will go towards the city’s new walking program, “Walk There, Decatur!”
