Follow the Flag 5k Trail Race

Pleasant Grove, United States • 11 Jul 2026

Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race

The Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race is a trail event in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The race distance is 5K and the course runs along Grove Creek, finishing beneath the event's large flying American flag. Participants receive a Follow the Flag 2026 finisher medal at the finish line.

The organizer describes the course in three sections: the first mile is relatively flat and fast, the second mile involves an uphill climb that raises the heart rate and thins the pack, and the final mile runs downhill to the creekside finish. The event is presented by Follow the Flag, a volunteer organization that stages patriotic events in Utah.

All race entry fees are directed to the Follow the Flag Foundation's general purpose fund. The foundation supports funeral and memorial related activities for military members and first responders and uses its fund to carry out missions such as hanging flags in canyons in honor of the fallen, decorating neighborhoods when a fallen service member returns, repairing or replacing large flags, and providing practical assistance to families affected by military loss. The foundation has been active in these efforts since 2014. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
