The ING Marathon is Sunday March 29, 2009. It will be coming through Decatur, GA and cheering squads are needed. The official cheering station is at Fellini's Pizza located at 333 Commerce Drive in Decatur. Come on out bright and early on Sunday morning at 7 am to help cheer the runners on. In 2007, the City of Decatur won $10,000 for the Best Cheering Station and in 2008 won $5,000 for the second best station. Decatur wants to reclaim our #1 title, so wear your orange and bring a noise maker, signs, and/or a musical instrument. Make some noise so the runners remember our wonderful city.
Runners will be voting for their favorite Water Stations and their favorite Cheering Section so we want them to remember Decatur. Prize money will to the Decatur Youth Fund for child obesity programs. The Decatur Youth Fund is a partnership between the Decatur Recreation Department and the Decatur Education Foundation. The Decatur Youth Fund provides scholarships to help children and youth attend summer school, summer camps and to participate in other enrichment opportunities.
Streets will be closed throughout Atlanta and Decatur for the 26 mile race. Get info on street closures.
