About the Run With The Dogs 5K
The course runs through residential Decatur neighborhoods, so expect tree-lined streets and the kind of route where local residents step onto their porches to watch. The race starts and finishes at a middle school, and the whole thing benefits the school's athletic boosters, so the crowd skews toward families, students, and coaches.
Dogs are welcome, which shapes the morning noticeably. The start area is a school campus, so parking and staging tend to follow that footprint. The post-race scene draws people connected to the booster club, meaning plenty of familiar faces if you have any ties to Decatur's school athletics.
