Ward Roney Jr. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7511 and its Auxiliary are excited to announce the seventh annual Flags for our Fallen 5k run/walk and Kids 1K event. All funds raised will be used to support the Post, a 501(c)19 nonprofit that continually serves the community. Come together to remember and honor the lives of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. You can participate live or virtually.

You can run/walk yourself, with a friend, or with a group of friends. You'll earn bragging rights, a cool tee-shirt*, and a custom silicone event wristband, all while supporting the mission of Ward Roney Jr. VFW Post 7511.

If you participate virtually, then on (or before) race day you should run/walk a 5k and post photos to your social media (Facebook or Instagram) account with the #Flags4rFallen hashtag.

Registration is $40.

* There is an additional charge for plus and tall shirts.

** Please note that you will be able to register multiple racers during the registration process. After you click the Proceed to Next Step button at the bottom of the racer registration, you will see an option to register another racer.
