Tour deCatur 2026!
Tour deCatur is back for its 24th year! This year, in addition to the Peachtree-qualifying 5k, the 1-Mile Fun Run, the adorable Tot Trot for the 4 and under crowd, and the “None Run” for supporters who want the t-shirt but not the sore muscles, we're partnering with the Decatur Bulldog Boosters and are offering a Bulldog Jog that allows runners to include their dogs in the 1-Mile Fun Run!
Funds raised from the Tour deCatur support Decatur Education Foundation’s many programs and initiatives supporting students, teachers, and the Decatur community.
Register by February 25th to be guaranteed a t-shirt.

8:30am - 1-Mile Fun Run & Bulldog Jog begins

Where to meet:
Both the 1-mile fun run and the 5K will begin on Commerce Drive by the high school stadium. Runners should gather on the football field if they already have their race numbers OR stop by the cafeteria for same-day number pick-up and registration. Please note that the Bulldog Jog “Barking Lot” will be located at the green space across the street at Commerce and W. Trinity. Dogs will not be allowed on school property. The Bulldog Jog will start at the end of the 1-Mile Fun Run and will follow the same route.

Every year Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool (OCP) is proud to hold one of the best 5Ks for families in the Atlanta area. Started 18 years ago, our Beat the Street for Little Feet Race features a 5K, one-mile Fun Run, and Tot Trot. Everyone in the family can participate! Each year, James Dean, New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of the popular “Pete the Cat” picture books, creates an original Pete the Cat design for the race, which we feature on the T-shirts for participants. All race proceeds and donations benefit OCP!
OCP is a nonprofit, parent-teacher cooperative founded in 2005 with the goal of creating an ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse community that is united through its commitment to parental involvement in education and to fostering respect for the environment. OCP creates a “home away from home” for its families. In today’s mobile and global society, many families with young children lack the extended family support systems that existed during the more agrarian and less mobile culture of the past century.
