Get ready for a truly inspiring and inclusive event at the 17th Annual Eggleston OK5K, taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in beautiful Virginia Beach, VA. This 5K race, held on the picturesque and completely paved campus of Virginia Wesleyan University, offers a fast and flat course perfect for runners, walkers, and wheelchair participants of all abilities. It's a celebration of community and possibility, welcoming families with strollers and ensuring everyone can move at their own pace. You might even find yourself cheered on by or moving alongside some of Eggleston's incredible employees and program participants.

More than just a race, the Eggleston OK5K is the primary fundraising event for Eggleston, a dedicated non-profit that has been creating meaningful opportunities for adults with disabilities since 1955. Every step you take helps support vital programs like Day Support, Brain Injury Services, and Camp Civitan, making a tangible difference in the Hampton Roads community. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature highs around 86F and lows around 68F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

The event promises a memorable morning starting with the 5K at 8:45 AM, followed by a lively post-race celebration around 10:00 AM. Expect a festive atmosphere complete with music, kid-friendly activities, and fun prizes, creating a feel-good experience for the entire family. Join in this unique opportunity to run with purpose and support a fantastic cause.
