I registered/paid for the 5K Memorial Run. Does this include my entry to the S.U.D.S. Craft Beer Experience?
Nope, but we are proud of you (& thank you) for running! You'll need to purchase a S.U.D.S. ticket from Freshtix to get into the craft beer event. 

How do I get there?
Legacy Park is conveniently located on the southeastern side of Decatur, just 1.3 miles from downtown. We’re easily accessible whether you’re walking, rolling, taking MARTA, or arriving by a ride share service.  For more detailed instructions, please visit: https://decaturlegacypark.com/visit/

What is the history of Legacy Park?
The United Methodist Children’s Home occupied the property for 144 years before its historic sale to the City of Decatur in 2017. The purchase — 77 acres in total, including green space and historic buildings — allowed the City to preserve the property for public enjoyment and funded an endowment that now supports the Methodist program (since renamed WellRoot) to provide in-home foster care in support of at-risk youth.

Today the property is managed by Legacy Decatur, a 501(c)(3), created to support the City of Decatur and the small community-based programs and projects that perpetuate its community values for future generations. As the property’s stewards, Legacy Decatur is charged with managing the day-to-day operations of the park, tenant relations, and the incremental implementation of the Master Plan. Current nonprofit tenants include: AJC Decatur Book Festival; the Decatur Education Foundation; Georgia Arborist Association; Global Growers; L’Arche Atlanta; Paint Love; the Frank Hamilton School; Wild Nest Bird Rehab; the Refugee Women’s Network; and the Wylde Center.

What are you raising money for this year?
S.U.D.S. will help support non-profits at Legacy Park for 2023 listed above. We are a locally supportive, community involved, full-service festival.
