Vet Fest 2026

Run. Ruck. Walk. Ride.

Vet Fest provides an annual uplifting opportunity for the military and civilian communities to stand together against military and veteran suicide. Focusing on physical fitness, participants are invited to run, ruck, ride, roll or walk their way through their community.

This run/walk is in memory of Dan Rankin who was tragically hit and killed on Jan 24, 2024 by an impaired driver while out on a run training for a Spartan 50k race.

Dan was married to his high school sweetheart and they have 4 beautiful children.

He lived a very full life with no regrets.

He was an entrepreneur at heart and always ready to lend a helping hand.

All proceeds will go to Delaware Wrestling Alliance.
