Settle the argument

Can you run on an extra point in flag football?

Only for 2. The 1-point try is pass only.

The 1-point try is snapped from the 5-yard line, which is inside the no-run zone, so it has to be a forward pass play. A run on it is an illegal run play.

The 2-point try is snapped from the 10, outside the zone, so you can run it or pass it.
