Sunday, May 3, 8 am, 24th Street Park, Virginia Beach
Jewish Family Service’s Run, Roll & Stroll returns to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront next month. The 5K race and 1-mile fun run will begin at 24th Street Park.
“We are thrilled to return oceanside and once again offer a true race-day experience,” says Kelly Burroughs, JFS CEO.
This event is about more than just running—it is a celebration of community. Whether participants run, walk, roll, or simply come out to cheer, there is a place for everyone. This year’s event will also feature a variety of fun activities for all ages, including free fairy hair, balloon animals, glitter tattoos, and more, making it a perfect outing for families.
“We are so excited to be back at the oceanfront!” says Kelly Burroughs. “I am personally so looking forward to seeing all the kids and Team Tiger out there running, Cheering them over the finish line is always my favorite part!”
As the organization’s largest annual fundraiser, Run, Roll & Stroll plays a vital role in sustaining JFS programming such as the JFS Food Pantry, home delivered meals, Embrace counseling, and support services. Every dollar raised goes directly back into helping individuals and families in Tidewater when they need it most.
One of the most special aspects of the event is the way it brings people together. Individuals, families, and local organizations are encouraged to participate, and in past years, teams have added an extra layer of energy and connection to the day.
Whether by participating in the race, forming a team, sponsoring, or simply coming out to cheer, everyone’s involvement makes a difference.
Registration is open and sponsorship opportunities are available, offering meaningful ways to support the community while gaining visibility for organizations.
