Rehoboth Beach, DE — The YMCA of Delaware is excited to celebrate New Hampshire-based YMCA member and athlete Ranjeet Singh as he completes his national endeavor of running 50 marathons in 50 states. He will cross the final finish line in Rehoboth Beach, DE at the Coastal Delaware Running Festival on April 13, 2025. The Sussex Family YMCA is happy to welcome him to our Rehoboth Beach community.
An avid runner and triathlete, Singh learned to swim and credits his athletic ability to his time at The Granite YMCA in New Hampshire. He began his travels across the country in the summer of 2023 with his first marathon stop in Anchorage, Alaska. So far, he has conquered 49 marathons in 49 states, embarking on his remarkable journey in a fully wrapped, Y-branded RV, with stops at a local Y in each location. That RV will be parked at the Sussex Family Y during his visit to Delaware, his final state in this incredible trek across the nation. More information on Singh’s impressive quest can be found here: https://www.graniteymca.org/50-marathons-in-50-states/.
“We eagerly welcome Ranjeet into the heart of our Rehoboth Beach community and congratulate him on such an amazing accomplishment,” said LoriKay Paden, Community Vice President & Executive Director at the Sussex Family YMCA. “His journey beautifully captures the very spirit of the YMCA. As a member of the Y, Ranjeet illustrates how the connection extends far beyond the borders of our local communities, fostering a sense of belonging that resonates nationally and beyond.”
Singh has graciously agreed to participate and help clean up the Sussex Family Y during the Day of Caring event on Saturday, April 12th.
