CANDLER PARK!!! (Shakes fists at the sky)

After taking back the top spot in the “neighborhood challenge” during last year’s ING Marathon, Decatur again must bow to its formidable in-town rival: the dreadfully motivated “Candler Park”.  From the Publix Marathon website…

2011 NEIGHBORHOOD CHALLENGE WINNERS ARE:

Division 1 – Marathon/Half Marathon Course

1st Place – $1,500 – Fourth Ward Neighbors/4th & SAND

2nd Place – $1,000 – Poncey-Highland Neighborhood Association

Division 2 – Marathon Course

1st Place – $1,500 – Candler Park Neighborhood Organization

2nd Place – $1,000 – City of Decatur

But seriously, congrats to the Candler Park folks and to Decatur for bringing home $1,000!  As mentioned on The Decatur Minute, this cool G will go towards the city’s “Walk There, Decatur!” program.
