French Fried 5K 2019

Short review

The French Fried 5k & Street Party is back again to liven up downtown Decatur.  This non-traditional 5k and street party combines exercise and fried foods in a way that appeals to everyone from runners to “just wanna have funners”. 

For the serious runners, this event will be timed like a traditional 5k.  However, “funners” can walk the route, ride in a golf cart, or even bypass a portion and go straight to the party at the end.  The route will once again feature multiple refreshment stops where runners can choose water and a banana, and “funners” can indulge in a beer and/or “less than healthy” treats. 

The Street Party features a local favorite party band, drinks and “Taste of Decatur” style food booths featuring local restaurant tents serving sample sizes of their most popular menu items.
