About
Dan Healy Memorial 5K is held in Exeter, New Hampshire, in Rockingham County, on November 1, 2026. The single format is a 5K run/walk starting at 11 a.m. It is run in honor of Chief Petty Officer Daniel R. Healy, a decorated Navy SEAL.
The event supports the local community through scholarships and assistance for veterans and single parents, and the run/walk format means nobody is excluded on the basis of pace. An 11 a.m. start suits runners who prefer not to race on an empty stomach: eat two to three hours out, then keep the warm-up simple with ten easy minutes and a few strides. For a fast 3.1 miles, add one weekly session of shorter, faster repetitions in the month beforehand, and treat the race itself as the hard workout of that week.
