From Decatur Active Living’s Be Active website…

Decatur Active Living wants your opinion! In 2016 Team Decatur is promoting seven Run/Walk Events, each one to benefit a Decatur non-profit organization. All events are 5K (3.1 miles) distance and runner and walker friendly. Some of the races also include ancillary events catered to families and younger participants such as a “tot trot” and/or a one mile race. Always looking to improve, Active Living and Team Decatur would like community input regarding these run/walk events. Please complete the survey by March 19th. Take the survey here.

What is Team Decatur?
Team Decatur is a group of City of Decatur residents, employees, and friends who participate in the annual Kaiser Permanente Corporate Run/Walk 5k and Fitness Program. In 2011, we had 256 members! This year’s run/walk will be held on Thursday, September 13 at 7pm in downtown Atlanta.

Why join?
Team Decatur members are offered a free eight week training program to prepare for the run/walk event in September. Members have fun, get fit, and get a FREE Team Decatur t-shirt to wear during the race.

Team Decatur members  join together before and after the run/walk at the ‘team tent” to have fun, enjoy refreshments, and make new friends at the “World’s Largest Office Party”!
