Eggleston OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll

17th Annual Eggleston OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll

The Eggleston OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll is more than a race—it’s a celebration of community, inclusion, and possibility. Join us for a memorable morning on the beautiful campus of Virginia Wesleyan University, where every step helps make a difference right here in Hampton Roads.

This event is open to individuals of all mobilities and abilities. With a completely paved and accessible course, the OK5K welcomes runners, walkers, wheelchair participants, families with strollers, and anyone who wants to move at their own pace. Along the way, you might even spot some of Eggleston’s incredible employees and program participants cheering you on—or rolling right beside you.

Why We Run, Walk & Roll

Since 1955, Eggleston has been dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for adults with disabilities through training, employment, recreation, and residential services. The OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll is one of Eggleston’s primary fundraising event, and all proceeds directly support our mission.

Funds raised benefit adults with disabilities in Hampton Roads, with a special focus on Eggleston’s Day Support Programs and Brain Injury Services. These programs provide life-enriching supports that promote independence, personal growth, and community connection. Eggleston’s Brain Injury Services use both case management and a clubhouse model to help individuals achieve their personal goals, while Day Support Programs offer engaging, year-round services designed to enhance quality of life.
