Decatur’s annual 5K Run With the Dogs drew about 300 people and 60 dogs to the city recently.

The run served as a fundraiser for the Decatur Bulldog Booster Club and kicked off the Team Decatur Grand Slam Run/Walk series, which will last until November.

Participants in the Jan 7 event started and finished at Decatur High School. Dogs of all breeds—from small shih tzus to English setters and even labradoodles—were there to participate and get in a good morning run.

The first person to cross the finish line was Ian McCann, who finished the 3-mile run with a time of 17:11. As for Man’s best friend, first place went to “Charlie,” an English setter that led his owner across the finish line at a time of 20:41.

The first woman to finish the race was Kelly Walsh, who was clocked in at 21:04.
