Road running in Uruguay is managed by the Uruguay Athletes' Federation.
Every Uruguayan road running club seems to have a flag. I am
describing below the flags of 23 clubs (including one athlete's
personal flag and the flag of the athletics section of two famous
sports clubs) I have identified beyond the reasonable doubt. Unless
specified, the sources for the images are the Picasa galleries of the
AAU; the photos have been made during the road running championship
organized by the AAU (18 races in 2011, 19 races scheduled in 2012)
and during social events.
