Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race
The Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race takes place in Pleasant Grove, Utah on July 11, 2026. The event is a 5K trail run located near E Grove Creek Drive and finishes along Grove Creek under a large flying American flag.
The course is described in three sections: the first mile is relatively flat and fast, the second mile is an uphill climb that raises the heart rate, and the last mile is downhill toward the finish along the creek. The event is organized as a trail run rather than a road race.
Organizers are the Follow the Flag Foundation, a volunteer organization that has provided support for funerals of fallen military and first responders since 2014. Registration fees are allocated to the foundation’s general purpose fund and support missions such as hanging flags in canyons, decorating neighborhoods when a fallen service member returns, repairing or replacing large flags, and community assistance projects including vehicle repairs for affected families.
Online registration availability is listed by the organizer with a closing date just before the event. The race is presented as part of a series of patriotic community events hosted by the volunteer organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
