Dan Healy Memorial 5K Virtual 5K
November 3, 2024
Exeter, NH, 03833, US
SCPO DANIEL R. HEALY
Senior Chief Petty Officer Daniel R. Healy, US Navy SEAL, BUD/S Class 176, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was born on July 17, 1968 in Exeter, NH and KIA in the Hindu Kush mountains of Kunar Province, Afghanistan on June 28, 2005 during Operation Red Wings.
SCPO Healy was lost when the MH-47 helicopter he was aboard on a rescue mission was shot down when going to the aid of a team of four SEALs on a reconnaissance mission who were embroiled in a battle with a larger force of the Taliban. When word got back to base about their plight, their fellow SEALs went into action filling two helicopters to go to their aid. Due to his rank as a Senior Chief Petty Officer, Dan Healy did not have to go on that mission, but he insisted. Taking men off of the lead helicopter SCPO Healy told the others “Those are my men and my face is going to be the first one they see”.
For his actions, SCPO Healy was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star with Combat “V” for Valor, the Purple Heart and Afghanistan Campaign Medal. SCPO Healy’s other awards include Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Good Conduct Medal (3), and the National Defense Service Medal.

The Dan Healy Memorial 5K Virtual 5K, scheduled for November 3, 2024, in Exeter, NH, honors the legacy of Dan Healy. This event is a **virtual 5K**, meaning participants can run or walk the 5 kilometers from any location they choose between November 3rd and November 10th, 2024. While the official location is Exeter, NH, the virtual nature offers flexibility. This event is categorized as a "6," which typically signifies a fun run or charity event, often with a focus on community participation and remembrance rather than competitive racing. Participants in this virtual event can expect a flexible and accessible race experience. They can run or walk their 5K at their convenience within the designated timeframe and in their preferred location, whether it's a local park, neighborhood streets, or a treadmill. While specific terrain and conditions are entirely up to the individual participant, Exeter, NH, itself is known for its charming New England landscape, which might inspire some participants to choose routes reflecting that environment. The primary notable feature of this race is its **memorial aspect**, celebrating Dan Healy's life and likely supporting a cause in his honor, making it more than just a race but a community tribute.
