🎉 History

• Origins: Several 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.
• Flag Run 5k: I thought, “Why not make a 5k out of this?” That was the beginning of the Flag Run 5k, and we've been dedicated to making this race happen ever since.
• Community Support: This event was made possible through all of our helpful sponsors, racers, and the community as a whole.
• Donations: Last year $10,000 was donated to the Boerne Fire Department, and a scholarship for $2,500 was given to a high school senior to go to fire school.
