The second annual Feeney’s 5K Run is set for 9:30 a.m., April 13, at Decatur Legacy Park.
The Feeney Legacy Project (FLP) is hosting the second annual Feeney’s 5K Fun Run at Decatur Legacy Park at 9:30 a.m., April 13. Legacy Park is a growing park in Decatur with an easy trail course for runners and walkers, shady and all in nature! If you cannot make it on April 13, join the Virtual Run anytime, from anyplace between March 17 to April 13.
The 2024 Feeney’s 5K was a gorgeous, sunny day with walkers, runners and watchers enjoying the shady trail run while exploring the growth of Legacy Park.
Kathy Feeney Armistead, the founder, said, “The first Run gave FLP much more traction for its first anniversary. We had a fun and flawless day at the park and the Virtual Around the World with the support of our sponsors LifeLink Foundation, Mad Italian, James Realty and more, Elite Timing, participants and volunteers.”
Maggie Feeney Eckard, vice president, will again be leading this year’s lining of the course with a hack saw and chalk so all are safe to keep heads up while moving.
Patti Feeney Mathews, treasurer, is hoping for a successful turnout for FLP billboards. The Run is benefiting FLP’s Fall Billboard Blitz. The 2025 Billboard Blitz will save lives and be someone’s second chance — a great reason to join in the fun. Armistead founded the 501(c)(3) non-profit in memory of her son, Feeney, whose death could have been avoided had 9-1-1 been called immediately. On April 13, 2022, Feeney went into cardiac arrest and, tragically, the friend he was with did not call 9-1-1. The Feeney Legacy Project educates kids and adults, ages 13-45, that when with someone in medical crisis call 9-1-1 immediately and know the caller has legal protection provided by The Good Samaritan Law and the Georgia 9-1-1 Medical Amnesty Law.
Join the fun at Legacy Park or virtually from anywhere and know you are saving lives.
