History

The Georgia marathon although it has not been around for a prolonged amount of time has been around for only five years in 2011. The marathon has been one of the largest multi event marathons with over 17,000 participants in one marathon.

There is not only the marathon event but there is also a half marathon as well as a wheel chair race. This has become not only an event for the runners but also an event for the community. This race runs through the historic streets of Decatur Georgia. The residents of the community of times dress up and line the streets cheering for the runners, even if they do not know them.

The Georgia marathon has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various non profit agencies around the communities as well as nationally based communities. This really is an historic event that has no chance of slowing down at all in the future.
