ING Direct Marathon Sunday
Decatur Metro | March 27, 2009Even if running 26.2 miles on a Sunday morning isn’t your thing, you might want to consider adding Sunday’s ING Direct Marathon to the ol’ calendar.
Why? Two reasons.
One, Decatur needs you to cheer at the “official” cheering station in front of Fellini’s on Commerce Drive at 7am, so the city can regain its title of “Best Cheering Station” in the metro area. Candler Park took that honor from us last year. The winner gets a cool $10,000 to put toward worthwhile orgs like the Decatur Youth Fund.
But even if you have no desire hold an orange sign and scream your brains out, you need to know because certain roads in and around Decatur will close throughout the morning to allow runners to circle the city.
Here’s the map and list of street closures.
