Running In Decatur

Couch to 5K Program

Have you been thinking about beginning a running program but were intimidated to begin? Then this group is for you! We will work through an 8-week Couch to 5K program. Members will run with the group twice a week, and one more on their own.  For more information contact Jada.Jordan. Free to the community.

Why Run?

Improving health, brightening one’s mood, and relieving the stress of the day are all benefits the runners of Decatur have come to appreciate about the sport. We have the added perk of having some of the prettiest neighborhoods in the southeast through which to traverse. The City of Decatur’s Active Living Department would like to invite everyone who enjoys running (or walking) to enjoy the Decatur Running Maps which all begin at the Old Courthouse on the Square. So strap on your shoes, get out into our friendly neighborhoods and enjoy your run in Decatur!

Decatur Running Maps

The City of Decatur offers a number of running  routes, all beginning at the Old Courthouse Square in downtown Decatur. The routes include maps, turn by turn directions, and elevations. Enjoy your run (or walk) in Decatur
