The first major battle of the American Civil War was the First Battle of Bull Run; the Second Battle of Bull Run occurred just a year later. These battles, fought in Northern Virginia, were amongst some of the deadliest battles of the Civil War. As an homage to the Battles of Bull Run, CVMA® 27-2 is nicknamed the Bull Run Chapter and our primary benefit ride is called Bull Run III to represent “the other Civil War,” the battle within. The ride is a symbol of our Chapter’s dedication to fighting the battle within for our Veteran brothers and sisters.

Since 2011, CVMA® 27-2 has supported efforts to help wounded veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The chapter has partnered with charity organizations across the commonwealth in hopes of making significant improvements in the lives of Virginia’s veterans and their families who have been touched by stress-related injuries or TBI.

$20 Rider | $15 Passenger

All proceeds from our 2026 annual benefit ride, Bull Run III, will go to support Leashes of Valor, a local 501(c)(3) organization.
