Since 2014 the Follow the Flag Foundation has been there for the funerals of our fallen men and women in the military and first responder community. All of the money you pay to run this race goes towards our general purpose fund, so we can have the resources we need to launch new missions (hanging a flag in a canyon in their honor, decorating the neighborhood with flags when a fallen soldier returns, fixing up a car for a kid who lost his father in the Iraq War, or to fix and replace our massive flags that inspire us each year. The Run2Remember is just one of many patriotic events organized by FollowTheFlag, a volunteer organization whose sole purpose is to give residents of Utah and America in general a place to show off their patriotism and to remember that freedom isn't free. Come to beautiful Pleasant Grove, Utah and honor America's veterans by running a fun 5K trail run that finishes under the largest American flag ever made. The race consists of three sections: 1) the first mile if relatively flat and fast, 2) the second mile is an uphill climb that will raise the heart rate and thin the pack, and 3) the last mile is nothing but downhill, as you finish along the majestic Grove Creek with an epic, under-the-flag, finish line. The race starts promptly at 8:00 AM, with Registration opening at 7:00 AM. Online Registration will stay open until July 11, 2026. Register now to reserve your place and receive your Follow the Flag 2026 finisher medal when you cross the finish line under the largest flying American flag!
