Dan Rankin Memorial 5K

Middletown's longest running 5k. The Peach Festival race signals the original harvest of what was once the largest peach farming area in the Nation. All proceeds benefit the Middletown Athletic Club Scholarship Fund. (read more about the MAC Scholarship here.)

Please be aware, due to construction work in the park, we have had to move the location for registration and modify the course route.

Please use caution walking around the park and beware of construction equipment and uneven surfaces.

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.

Honoring the founding location of Vet Fest, Whitehall Delaware will still host the annual event with participants from around the country invited to join in nationally where they are. Virtual runs and rides will take place all weekend long - banning together as a nation to benefit Stop Soldier Suicide’s efforts to reduce the epidemic of military suicide.

All registrants will be mailed a commemorative Vet Fest 2026 event T-shirt. Register by SEPTEMBER 1st to guarantee your shirt shipment before Vet Fest on September 26th!
