Old Glory’s EPIC Journey
2024 marks the 10th anniversary of the Old Glory Relay!
This year’s Old Glory was provided by Allegiance Flag Supply and 100% made in America.
Old Glory is currently headed overseas where she will be flown by Army special operations over Operation Inherent Resolve missions in both Iraq and Syria before returning to the U.S. to be carried across the country by veterans and their supporters in the Old Glory Relay.
The 2024 Old Glory Relay will begin in Philadelphia, PA and end in Chicago, IL. Old Glory’s making several guest appearances at key events along her route like the Yuengling Light Lager Jogger.
We want to go BIG this year.
Will you help Old Glory on her journey?

There are two ways you can participate in the Old Glory Relay — in-person by carrying the flag on the route or virtually if you aren’t able to participate in-person. Here are some more details about each option.
In-person. View the Old Glory Relay map to pick the day (or leg) you’d like to carry Old Glory. Then, complete the registration process. Your Leg Captain will reach out to you to tell you when and where to be to help carry Old Glory. We’ll see you on the route!
Virtual. If you aren’t able to participate in-person, join us virtually! Registering for OGR as a virtual participant is a lot like registering as an in-person participant. We know. It’s not the most intuitive process, but it’s what Classy (our registration and fundraising platform) requires. View the map above and select the day you plan on completing your virtual participation. Then, follow the prompts to sign up for the virtual registration option. When your day arrives, complete your distance, snap some pics, tag us on social media with #OldGlorRelay so we can share with Eagle Nation!
