Still Time to Register for Saturday's Tour deCatur

It’s not too late to register now for this weekend’s 12th annual Tour deCatur, which includes a fun run/walk, a 5K and a tot trot.

According to the event website, the Decatur High Band Parents Association will be onsite selling morning treats and coffee and King of Pops will sell post-race popsicles.

The Tour deCatur gives participants the opportunity to run a 5K road race and/or a 1-mile fun run through neighborhoods of Decatur. This event started as a grassroots fundraiser for the Decatur Education Foundation and has grown into a community-wide tradition with more than 2,500 participants.

One registration fee allows participation in the 5K, 1 mile or Tot Trot. Money raised by this event supports the children of Decatur by providing educational and enrichment opportunities.

Event times are:

• 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk: 8:45 a.m.
• 5K Road Race/Walk: 9:15 a.m.
• Tot Trot (age 4 and under): 10 a.m.

The event staging area is at Decatur High School, 310 N. McDonough St. Parking will be available in the Decatur High upper lot off East College Avenue or at Agnes Scott College.

The event will be held rain or shine and will only be cancelled due to severe conditions which would make the route unsafe. No refunds will be issued.

Tour deCatur is a qualifying run/walk event in the Team Decatur Grand Slam Fitness Challenge.

Registration for all ages is $30 per person.
