Motorcycle Run Events In Virginia Beach

Motorcycle enthusiasts of all types enjoy events in Virginia Beach.


There's nothing quite like the freedom of riding a motorcycle; join up with some of your friends and this feeling becomes even stronger. This is exactly why motorcycle runs and events are so popular and why so many drivers, including those in Virginia Beach, are so active in the social aspect involved with motorcycles. Many motorcycle runs and events are held in Virginia Beach for this very reason--and the majority of them welcome motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages.


Bikers for Tykes and Troops


Sponsored by Geico and held at the KOA Campgrounds in Virginia Beach, the Bikers for Tykes and Troops event takes place in the month of April every year. Several motorcycle rides take place over the weekend, including the USO Freedom Ride and the Bikers for Tykes and Troops Poker Run. Other activities include live music, wrestling demonstrations and a variety of games and vendors. Tattoo, bikini and motorcycle contests are also held. All proceeds from the Bikers for Tykes and Troops event are donated to Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters as well as the USO of Hampton Roads.
