About the race
The memorial 5K Flag Run/Walk is scheduled for 11/08/2026 at Thomaston Opera House in Thomaston, CT. The event features a 5K running race and is presented as a community remembrance and fundraising event.
The organizing fund supports individuals and families affected by cancer and was established in 2002 following a local loss to the disease. Over time the fund has aided families and supported organizations that assist patients, and it also contributes to the Thomaston Food Pantry & Crisis Fund and other local charities.
A portion of the event proceeds has been donated to the Thomaston Track and Tennis Facility at Nystrom's Park. The facility is described as a community asset used by residents of all ages.
The race is also a time to honor veterans and to remember those who lost their lives on 9-11. Fifty state flags collected during an associated Flag Run Across America are displayed as a remembrance at the finish line.
Registration for the 5K opens on 09/09/2026 and closes on 11/07/2026; the listed registration fee is $30.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
