About the event

Come join the third annual Run for Joe 5k and 1 mile run/walk!  This energetic run/walk is open to all fitness levels and in honor of a special Decherd native - Joe Bach.  We want to carry on his love for family, friends, and running through this event.  The start and finish location will be Decherd Babe Ruth Fields with a fun, family friendly after party. All proceeds will be donated to The V Foundation, where 100% of proceeds go to cancer research.  Deadline to receive a shirt is June 18th so sign up today!

Calling all sponsors to support this meaningful local event - please email Runforjoe5k@gmail.com for details on how to sponsor.  Over the years we have been able to donate $4,000 to the V Foundation!

This is an out and back course which will be sent out prior to race.  Packet pickup will open at 6:30 am on morning of event.  Run/walk starts promptly at 8 am, so arrive early.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
