Wow! We are so amazed at the hearty runners who showed up for a very memorable Tour deCatur with freezing temperatures and gusty winds and a delay caused by some tree limbs.
Thanks to everyone who supported this year's return to in-person racing and here's to warmer temps in 2023!!

Well done Decatur!
---------------------------
We're BACK!
Lace up your running shoes for Decatur’s biggest 5K race on Saturday, March 12th. After a 2-year shift to a virtual run, we are so excited to host a safe, in-person event for the 20th running of the Tour.
In honor of 20 years, this event is dedicated to our educators, and we are offering FREE registration to all City Schools of Decatur employees (employees only please - not transferable to family members). If you are a CSD employee, be sure you get the registration promo code from your school's PE Coach or front office so you won't be charged for your participation. You must use your csdecatur.net email to register.
Community members who want to show love for our teachers, can make an extra donation during the registration process to offset their free registrations (this is a fundraiser after all). Your extra donations will also allow full participation of families for whom the fee is a barrier to participation (see below).
If paying the registration fee is a barrier for your family to participate, please email drew@decatureducationfoundation.org and request a comp code which will allow you to register at no cost.
This year, the Tour deCatur will include the 5K and 1-mile fun run (sorry, due to COVID concerns, no tot trot this year).
You can support clubs and sports team of City Schools of Decatur by donating to their fundraising pages or you can donate to a participant and that will go to their club or team. Happy 20 years of community support!
We will continue to monitor the Covid situation in the coming weeks. We ask that participants and supporters wear masks at all times when not on the course (including at the starting line). If you exhibit symptoms or are exposed to Covid prior to race day, we ask that you protect others and stay home.
8:30am – 1-Mile Fun Run begins
9:15am – 5K Road Race begins
Please note: To guarantee a shirt with your adult registration, register by February 28th. Adult registration includes an event t-shirt. Youth who participate are awarded medals at the finish line and can purchase a youth shirt during registration.
Funds raised from the Tour deCatur support DEF’s many programs and initiatives. Click here to see how funds are used to support Decatur’s kids.
Race number and t-shirt pick up will take place FRIDAY, March 11th at Legacy Park. You will receive detailed information closer to the date. Picking up your number and shirt in advance will allow you to bypass the lines on Saturday morning and go straight to the football field at Decatur High School, which will be the waiting area for both the 1-mile and 5K races. If you are NOT able to pick up prior to race day, same-day registration and number pick-up will open at 7:30am in the DHS cafeteria.
Both the 1-mile fun run and the 5K will begin on Commerce Drive, out the back of the high school. Runners should gather on the football field if they already have their race number OR stop by the cafeteria for same-day number pick-up and registration. PARKING: Parking is limited at Decatur High School due to the SAT Test being administered that morning. Parking is also available at Agnes Scott College in the parking deck across the tracks from the high school entrance on S. McDonough (you must exit by noon on Saturday). If you live nearby, please consider walking or biking.
THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE! Strollers are welcome but we ask that you line up near the back. Please remember that NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED.
