2026 Flag Runner Registration

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.

1. No running in the cemetery.
2. No leaning on, sitting on, or resting body or limbs on headstones or monuments.
3. Do not pick up any flowers or flags (unless the flag has fallen to the ground).
4. Do not touch any of the coins that were placed on top of the headstones or around the headstone.
5. No advertising of any kind while on the cemetery grounds.
6. Do not disrupt visitors at graves. You may ask to place the flag for them. However, if they deny the request, kindly give them a flag so that they can place it themselves.
7. No littering, please ensure that you are picking up after yourselves.
