Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race : Pleasant Grove, Utah

The Follow the Flag 5K Trail Race is scheduled for July 11, 2026, in Pleasant Grove, Utah, on E Grove Creek Drive. The event is a 5K trail run that the organizer presents as part of a series of patriotic events called Run2Remember.

Course

The course is described in three sections: the first mile is relatively flat, the second mile includes an uphill climb, and the final mile is downhill and finishes along Grove Creek. The finish line is located under a large American flag used by the organizer.

Purpose and organization

The event is organized by the Follow the Flag Foundation, a volunteer organization. Entry fees for the race go to the foundation’s general purpose fund. The fund supports the foundation’s activities related to military and first responder communities, including attendance at funerals, hanging flags in canyons, decorating neighborhoods when a fallen soldier returns, repairing or replacing large flags, and other mission work. The Run2Remember race is one of several events the organization runs to support these activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
