Organiser's Description
We are so excited to invite you to the 4th Annual West Ponce Music Stroll 5k! At Fleet Feet Decatur we are all about community and we are excited for the opportunity to share who we are with you. Race entry includes a chip-timed event and race t-shirt.
The West Ponce Music stroll will celebrate its fifth annual year with a day of events bringing awareness to the businesses in the West Ponce District of downtown Decatur. West Ponce businesses open their patios and parking lots, transforming them into stages for a day of free, live music and fun during the fifth annual West Ponce Music Stroll spanning until 9pm. Decatur Makers is a non-profit, your support of the race also helps support Decatur Makers’ general fund, need-based scholarships, and all of our programs with a focus on underserved communities . . . every dollar makes an impact. Thanks for supporting the West Ponce District! Learn more about Decatur Makers WPMS and donate further here.
Our post-race atmosphere will be a blast so pack some dry clothes & a lawn chair.
