Memorial Day Flag Run
The Memorial Day Flag Run is a patriotic trail running and rucking event held at the Black Canyon City Trailhead in Arizona. Participants can choose between 5K and 10K distances, either running or hiking, with the option to carry a 35-pound rucksack. The out-and-back courses traverse the scenic Black Canyon Trails, encouraging runners to carry American flags high in honor of fallen service members.
This cupless event promotes environmental responsibility, requiring participants to bring their own hydration. Emergency water stations are staffed by US Marine Veterans, who may ask participants to perform burpees for water. Proceeds support the Anthem - Daisy Mountain Veterans nonprofit.
