Lace up your running shoes and join the DeKalb County Police Department for their second annual P.A.L. Pumpkin 5K Run/Walk on Saturday morning.
This event, hosted by the police department's Police Athletic League (P.A.L.), is designed to promote community engagement and support youth programs and will kick off at 9 a.m. in Tucker on West Exchange Place.
The race welcomes participants, rain or shine, with a Fall Fest and Halloween theme perfect for families. After the race, families can enjoy a post-race Fall Fest with activities and an awards ceremony featuring candy and games for children.
For a registration fee of only $35, participants will receive a signature race T-shirt and a participation race medal. The event offers race awards in various age categories, adding an extra layer of excitement to the run.
The 5K racecourse will start and finish at the DeKalb County Police Headquarters building. This event is an official qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race.
Beyond the thrill of the run, the DeKalb County Police P.A.L. Plus 5K serves a noble purpose. All proceeds from the event will support the DeKalb County Police Athletic League, a 501c(3) non-profit organization. This organization is dedicated to preventing juvenile crime and violence by providing mentorship and athletic, recreational and educational opportunities for the youth of DeKalb County.
Race day check-in begins at 8 a.m., and the 5K race starts promptly at 9 a.m.
