VetFest 2026 Presented by the RAMC Foundation

Get ready to lace up for a cause at VetFest 2026 Presented by the RAMC Foundation, set to take place on Saturday, April 11th, 2026, in the charming city of Reedsburg, WI. Celebrating its 16th year, this beloved event offers a meaningful opportunity to hit the pavement while supporting local veterans' organizations and the vital missions of the RAMC Foundation. Runners can choose their challenge from a Half Marathon (13.1M), a 5K Run/Walk (3.1M), or a 1-Mile Kids Run, ensuring an event for every age and ability.

The Half Marathon course promises a hilly and challenging experience as it winds through the town and the rolling country roads of Sauk County, starting and finishing in Reedsburg's Nishan Park. Expect scenic views as you push your limits on this road race. For race day, typical conditions in mid-April in Reedsburg include highs around 55°F and lows around 33°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant running weather. After crossing the finish line, participants can look forward to light refreshments and snacks, and even grab a brat from veterans selling them to further support their organizations, so remember to bring some cash.

VetFest goes beyond just a race; it's a vibrant community celebration designed to honor those who have served. All runners will receive finisher medals to commemorate their achievement, and a special display board will be available for participants to honor a veteran close to their hearts. This unique focus, combined with the festive atmosphere, makes VetFest an unforgettable experience, fostering community spirit while making a tangible difference for veterans and local health initiatives.
