VA2K Walk & Roll
Join us for the VA2K Walk & Roll, a welcoming, community-centered event that brings together Veterans, staff, families, and community partners to move, connect, and support one another. Whether you walk, roll, stroll, or cheer from the sidelines, everyone is invited to participate in a way that feels right for them.
What is VA2K?
VA2K is a national VA initiative that encourages participants to walk or roll 2 kilometers, about 1.2 miles, at their own pace. The focus isn’t on speed or distance, it’s about participation, accessibility, and community.
VA2K is rooted in VA’s Whole Health approach, which recognizes that health is more than medical care, and that every Veteran is more than a diagnosis. Whole Health emphasizes movement, connection, purpose, and belonging as essential to living well and thriving. By encouraging gentle physical activity in a supportive environment, VA2K promotes:
- Physical well-being
- Mental and emotional health
- Social connection and community engagement
This event also supports Healthcare for Homeless Veterans (HCHV), a critical program that helps Veterans experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness, access healthcare, housing resources, and supportive services. VA2K raises awareness and brings the community together in support of dignity, stability, and well-being for all Veterans.
