About the Vet Fest 2027
Vet Fest is a community event built around honoring military and veteran lives lost to suicide. Participants can run, ruck, walk, or ride through the neighborhood, so the format fits a wide range of abilities and intentions. The mood is more memorial than race, with a national anthem and pep rally before the start, then lunch and live music after.
Parking is managed by volunteers on arrival, so you do not need to figure it out in advance. Packet pickup happens on-site the morning of the event, before the opening ceremony gets underway.
