The proceeds from this year’s VA Bull City Run, Walk & Roll 5K will help to support scholarships for Veterans served by the Durham VA Health Care System to attend National Veterans Rehab Events. For many of our Veterans, recovering from a serious illness or injury is one of the hardest things they will ever face. The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) offers adaptive sports, art therapy and recreation programs to help Veterans re-define their capabilities, establish rehabilitative goals, and discover their true potential in a therapeutic environment. Through each step Veterans find increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, and a higher quality of life. Your support will help our Veterans reach their goals. Visit

Thank-you for your participation!
