Austin Daughtery VetFest Races

Opening Ceremony at 10:00 a.m. 5K & 12 K Ruck registration starts at 9:00 a.m. VetFest 2023 starts with a 5K run/walk 12K Ruck(22lbs). Add it all up & it is 22. This year more than ever everything will revolve around the 22 soldiers who die EVERY DAY from the daemons within they cannot fight any longer. They defended America but cannot fight for themselves because it seems hopeless & futile. We cannot accept that! We need to bridge the gap! VetFest is not just for Veterans. This is a great opportunity for first responder agencies and military reserve units to make that mandatory PE meaningful. It would be a great team building exercise for a business. Cross country teams - get in some of those mandatory miles with a real race. #VetFestSWVABridgeTheGap.
