The annual Eggleston OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll is a truly special race. Join us for a race through the beautiful campus of Virginia Wesleyan University, and have the opportunity to make a difference in our community! The OK5K & 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll is an exciting morning that is open to participants of all ability levels, families with strollers, wheelchair racers, and more. You might even see some amazing Eggleston employees and individuals out on the course!
Since 1955, Eggleston has been dedicated to providing meaningful training, employment opportunities, recreation activities, and residential services to thousands of adults with disabilities. The OK5K and 1 Mile Run, Walk & Roll is Eggleston’s main fundraising event, and all proceeds directly support our mission.
Proceeds from the OK5K event help to offset the cost of Eggleston’s year-round services to adults with disabilities, including our Brain Injury Services, Warrior Bridge Veterans program, and our Day Support Programs. Eggleston’s Brain Injury Services provides both case management services and a clubhouse model program that focuses on helping members reach their personal goals. Eggleston’s Warrior Bridge assists veterans with disabilities by connecting them to vital resources, services and employment. Finally, Eggleston’s Day Support Programs offers individuals with significant disabilities meaningful and functional year-round/daily supports based on improving quality of life and enhancing independence.
You won’t want to miss the OK5K & 1 Mile Races to benefit Eggleston. Help people with disabilities with every step you take!
Fun for the whole family with Music, Kids activities, Fun Family Games, Snacks, Drinks, & More!

This event was a fun one to run. The host was the Tidewater Striders, and it was ran for the Eggleston College. As always with the Tidewater Strider events they always have a good production as well as SWAG, and after party activities. Even though this race had lots of turns, it was a very fast course as I set my new PR in the 5K during it. It is also part of the Tidewater Striders Grand Prix. If you are looking for a local race that is not expensive this is defiantly one to check out.
Spectacular
