Forging Families 5K/10K and 1 Mile Fun Run
The event takes place in downtown Columbiana, Alabama, with start and finish at the Shelby County Arts Council facility. Organizers list USATF course numbers AL19060JE and AL21027JE for the courses. Chip timing is provided.
Course details:
- 10K : 6.2 miles, a modified double loop of the 5K course with two small hills.
- 5K : 3.1 miles, a flat course with two small hills and a route through downtown Columbiana.
- 1 Mile Fun Run : 1 mile, an out-and-back that begins in front of the old Court House and runs along Main Street.
The 5K and 10K courses are described as largely flat and conducive to fast times. The City of Columbiana partners with the event by providing police to control traffic flow during the races. Volunteers follow the last participant in the 1 mile fun run to monitor safety.
The event supports Sacred Selections, a not-for-profit organization that assists families pursuing adoption. All proceeds are donated to Sacred Selections to help reduce adoption-related expenses. Over the past seven years the event has donated more than $77,000 to that organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
