Sixth Annual Decatur Bulldog Boosters 5K “Run with the Dogs”

The race will feature a single 5K race where runners and dog-owners can run with (or without) their dogs.  T-shirts, awards, and treats will be available to race participants as well as a sporty "race"-kerchief for canine participants.  Sponsorship opportunities are available for a limited time.  All proceeds go to funding the uniform, equipment, and awards for our student-athletes at the middle and high schools.  So come on out and run off a few of those Holiday calories with Decatur and its Dogs!

This will be the first race in the inaugural year of the City of Decatur's Grand Slam of Fitness which encourages Team Decatur participants, as well as the entire City, to walk/run year round, beginning with the Run with the Dogs in January.  In the wake of the City of Decatur and Team Decatur's success in the KP Corporate Run/Walk and winning the Most Fit City Award, Team Decatur is ready to make 2011 an active year in Decatur! Complete 4 of 6 races and become entitled to move into the ranks of "Grand Slam Winners!"
