The Complete Guide to Buying Field Runner Flags

Field Runners. You might know them as cheerleader flags, team flags, battle flags, or running flags, are one of our best-selling products, and one that comes with a few choices worth understanding before you order.

Start with size. We make Field Runners in 3'x5', 5'x7', 6'x10', and 8'x12'. The 5'x7' is by far the most popular; it's big enough to make a statement and light enough for a cheerleader or student to carry the length of the field. The 6'x10' comes in a close second, and the massive 8'x12' is gaining ground fast as more programs go all-in on the pregame entrance.

Next, single-ply or double-ply. Single-ply Field Runners are made of 140gsm fabric, and the graphic reads reversed on the back, exactly like the runners you see at high school, college, and pro games. This is normal and it's what most teams expect. If you'd rather have the design read correctly from both sides, choose double-ply: it's made of coated satin with a correct-reading back, so your logo looks right no matter which direction it's facing.

Don't forget how you'll carry and store them. Our Field Runner Poles are a Booster Banner Store exclusive, made of 1" aircraft aluminum that's light and strong enough to run with even the 8'x12' without drooping. They break down into 24" sections held together by an internal shock cord, so setup and takedown are quick, and every pole ships with rubber end caps to protect the flag. To keep everything clean between games, add a Field Runner Bag. They come in three sizes, including one that holds up to six flags and poles with the flags still mounted.
