Event Description

Dekalb County Police PAL Plus 5K Fundraiser

The Dekalb County Police PAL Plus 5k Race is an event to raise awareness for the Dekalb County Police Athletic League (PAL Plus) and to raise money for PAL Plus youth programs. The event will happen rain or shine on Saturday October 22, 2022. The race has a Fall Fest / Halloween theme so wearing race-appropriate costumes is encouraged and families are welcome. There will be a Fall Fest / Public Safety fair after the race with candy and games for children. The 5K racecourse will start and stop at the Dekalb County Police Headquarters building. This race will be registered and be an official qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race.

The goal of DeKalb County PAL Plus is to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community through youth engagement programs. The DeKalb County Police Athletic League is a 501c (3) non-profit organization that was established to aid in the prevention of juvenile crime and violence by providing mentorship, athletic, recreational, and educational opportunities and resources to Dekalb county youth.
