Event: SVR Winter Series #1 - South Berkeley Christmas 5K

Your registration into the full winter series includes registration for the South Berkeley 5K. Although this race is not directly organized by SVR we're thrilled to team up with organizers and incorporate it again into the Winter Series. SVR will be there before the race to help with registration and hand out swag.
This race starts at 2pm but arrive early to navigate road closures, parking, and registration. This 5K race starts before the South Berkeley Christmas Parade and all proceeds benefit The Berkeley County Humane Society. The mostly flat course follows along the parade route so there will be plenty of cheering spectators. *** Festive costumes and clothing are encouraged ***

Event: SVR Winter Series #4 - Mystery Distance @ LRCC Middletown

For this event we're keeping the race distance a mystery. We will tell you at the finish line the actual distance but expect it to be between 2 and 5 miles.

Will you leave the start line too fast, too slow or just right?

This will be a closed course on the Laurel Ridge Community College campus in Middletown. Expect some parking lots to be closed during the race so arrive early enough to navigate parking and, possibly, a short walk to the start line.

Event: SVR Winter Series #5 - Stickman’s Tandem 5K @ Strasburg High School

Come run in the shadow of a legend and in a cornerstone event of the Winter Series.
Organized by the current holder of the Virginia Tech record in the 10k, three time qualifier for the Olympic Trials, owner of Runners' Retreat and all-around awesome guy - Mark "Stickman" Stickley. 2023 will bring the 25th annual running of Stickman's Tandem 5k.

Run this solo or as a tandem. If you choose the latter your finish place will be combined with your teammate to determine the winners! Lowest score wins (cross country scoring)! Tandem teams will compete in one of the following categories: Male, Female, Co-Ed or, Family (two immediate family members). The Stickman will be giving awards to the top tandem teams after the race. The tandem competition is a bonus to the Winter Series. There is no additional cost to compete as a tandem and registering in the tandem competition does not impact a runner's individual Winter Series scoring. The form for tandem registration is available here: https://tinyurl.com/ykc4bf3c

Did we mention that The Stickman also made four US Cross County teams and currently coaches the Handley High School Cross Country Team? Legend.

This is a mixed surface loop course that takes you along the river, through downtown Strasburg and around the high school. A full course map can bee seen here https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/2379237688

Event: SVR Winter Series #8 - Museum of the Shenandoah Valley 4 Miler

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley has hosted many SVR races over the years. It's always been a fun place to run but with the opening of The Trails at MSV it's become one of the best place to run in Winchester. SVR, using money raised from your support of events like the Winter Series, is proud to have donated $10,000 toward the building of The Trails at MSV. Running is good for you and your community!
