Packet Pick-up

We highly encourage packet pickup. It lowers our overhead costs and puts more money towards lifesaving work! Also, we have goodies for folks who pick-up packets and who doesn't love free things?

Packet pickup will be available for the following dates and times at our New St. location:

Saturday, May 15th - 8:30am - 12:00pm

Saturday, May 22nd - 8:30am - 12:00pm

Location: 114 New Street - Suite B, Decatur, GA 30030 (look for the entryway to the right of the Jazzercise sign)
