A few years ago, my dad and his friend started a yearly run on July 4th, getting a group of people together to run throughout the town with American flags. When I ran with them I would think, “Why not make a 5k out of this?” That was the beginning of the Flag Run 5k, and I've been dedicated to making this race happen ever since. Last year, this event was made possible through all of our helpful sponsors, and racers. This year, we are doing a VIRTUAL Flag Run 5k due to what has happened in the last few months. Signing up means you will receive a medal and t-shirt in the mail, and you get to run the Flag Run 5k from your home, or at the original course (if allowed). This year we will continue to donate to the VFW Post #688. The 4th of July to me represents freedom and veterans have always done their part in keeping us free.
