Forey Jacobson, an iconic Des Moines area runner, was the victim of a violent act in November. He is recovering, but has a long ways to go. The local running community is coming together to put on a benefit for Forey which is Saturday, Jan. 14. The event includes a run starting at 10:00am at Mullets (1300 1st St.) downtown Des Moines. To join, the entry is $25 and also includes admission to the Full Court Press bar crawl afterwards and a concert later that night.

Registration is available at the Running Room.

For more info, visit the Forey Fest Facebook page or email friendsofforey@gmail.com. Proceeds from all events will go toward a fund to help in Jacobson’s recovery.
