About this Event

All Flag Runners are required to have a smart phone capable of taking photos and accessing the internet.

A photo will be taken and uploaded via an online form, the link will be shared the day of the event. Once the form is submitted, an email will be automatically sent to the requester with the photo and it will be posted to the FFFS Facebook page.

Please note: The cemetery does not want anyone showing up in running gear, though tennis shoes are acceptable. They ask that we keep to a brisk walk, as running is not allowed in the cemetery.
