One of the nation’s leading veteran service organizations, Travis Manion Foundation, will host the San Diego 9/11 Heroes Run 5K race this weekend. The annual race series unites the nation to remember the lives lost on September 11th and in the wars since, while honoring veterans, military, and first responders who serve our country and our communities. Now in its 15th year, 9/11 Heroes Runs will take place in more than 90 locations, both in-person and virtually, and is expected to draw over 60,000 participants worldwide. Through the Travis Manion Foundation’s 9/11 Heroes Runs, communities come together to run, walk or ruck, not just to honor the fallen, but to continue the legacies of character, leadership, and service that they left behind. At its heart, the 9/11 Heroes Run is a personal commitment to never forget the heroes of that day. Walk-up registration is available or participants can visit at 911heroesrun.org to register for more information on TMF, visit www.TravisManion.org.

When: Mondays from 5 - 8 p.m. This is an on-going class. Learn classic nuristani chip carving, a 5,000 year old technique from Afghanistan. Students will carve beginner designs on a soft wood board during this class. Each person will take home their carving designs and the knowledge to practice this new craft on their own. Nuristani inlay designs each have their own meanings that we’ll learn more about in the class. Nuristani inlay is usually made using soft wood. We’ll provide the supplies for each student. This class builds upon itself and renews every 3 weeks. Returning students move on to more complicated designs, and beginning students start with the foundation design and learn to hone beginner skills. Each enrollment is for 3 carving classes. All levels are welcome. Recommended for ages 16 and up. Visit: https://sandiegocraft.org/product/chip-carving/ San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook
