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. When I ran with them I would think, ?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. Within the last few years, this event was made possible through all of our helpful sponsors, racers, and the community as a whole. Last year $10,000 was donated to the Boerne Fire Department. We were able to give a scholarship for $2,500 to a high school senior to go to fire school. This year, the proceeds will go to the Boerne Fire Department to provide swift water equipment and another scholarship for next year?s senior class. These items are not always able to be paid in the department?s budget. The 4th of July to me represents freedom and I want to do my part in helping those that keep us free.
