There’s something powerful about showing up as a family, moving with intention, and living out the mission of Just Elevate Yourself in the community. This year’s Forney Turkey Trot 5K wasn’t just a race. It was purpose in motion.

What started as a simple idea to run together became a morning full of joy, grit, and unity. From stretching to the finish line, our family showed what JEY represents: faith-driven discipline, community, and leading by example.

The kids showed up ready, focused, smiling, and proud to earn their medals. Watching them push through each kilometer reminded us why JEY Run Club exists: to teach effort, build confidence, and show that finishing something hard changes you.

Seeing my wife compete with strength and grace made the moment even more special. When your family runs with purpose, the miles hit different.

JEY Run Club is more than a routine. It’s a movement growing here in Forney. A space for families and everyday people to elevate through running, support, and connection.

This 5K was our first official race together, but not the last. More meet-ups, more community moments, and more chances to grow are ahead.

We run for our health.

We run for our kids.

We run for our faith.

We run for our future.

We run to elevate.

Whether you’re experienced or brand new, JEY Run Club welcomes you. All paces. All backgrounds. All stories.

We’re not running to be perfect.

We’re running with purpose.
