Folks,

Go ahead and mark down January 9th, 2027 for the 8th Annual Forging Families race!

Well, it looks like all systems will be a go for this Saturday’s Forging Families race. There’s about a 50% chance of rain but right now that is into the afternoon and evening.

We look forward to seeing everybody on Saturday morning!

Folks,

We are not going to ask people to travel and run in what could be dangerous road conditions on Saturday.

We’re now going to pursue the Valentine’ Day edition of the Forging Families 5K/10K.

Grab some flowers, your true love, and come run with us.

I’ve gone back to our original registration list, so let me know if a) you’re running on 2/14, b) you’d like to defer to 2027, or c) you’d like to make your registration fee a donation to Sacred Selections.

Thanks,

Online registration is open again. Closes at midnight on 1/22/26.

Please note that we are not ordering additional shirts. Any shirts not picked up on race day will be available after the race concludes.

With that, please share with anyone who might want to run with us. And seriously, let's all start praying now for good weather!

The 7th Annual Forging Families 5K/10K and 1 Mile Fun Run is on Saturday January 10, 2026. It includes the following events: 10K, 5K, 1 Mile Fun Run, and Sleep In Special.

Powerline down on the course, folks. We will work on rescheduling and will send out another date.

We are still a go for the race this morning. Please make the decision that works the best for you, but we are still a go.

01/09/2026

Folks,

I sent out an email last night, but in case it missed anybody we are still on for the race. If there’s lightning in the area, we will delay the start, but otherwise bring your life best and a positive attitude.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
