A nonprofit club promoting running and amateur competition in the Northern Shenandoah Valley since 1977.
Member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA).
Welcome To Shenandoah Valley Runners
Shenandoah Valley Runners (SVR) brings outstanding community running events to Winchester, Front Royal, Frederick County, Warren County, Clarke County, Shenandoah County and a few destinations in West Virginia. Members of SVR have a diverse interest in road and trail running. The Shenandoah Valley is home to many incredible venues that are runner-friendly including incredible trails in the Shenandoah National Park, George Washington Forest, or along the Appalachian Trail.
SVR sponsors many local races including the fun and competitive SVR Winter Series, a series of races where club members battle for overall and age group awards over the cold winter months.
SVR is also a sponsor of the Run at the Top series which is organized by Frederick County Parks and Recreation.
If you are looking for group runs, SVR’s official shoe store partner, Runners’ Retreat, hosts weekly runs through the town of Winchester, Virginia. Be sure to visit the store for a great selection of running shoes, gear and accessories!
SVR is a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA).
Our website is a good place to start to find information about the club and our races, but for up-to-the-minute news, please check out our Facebook page. This is where we post any last minute changes to our event calendar, post about group runs, and generally hang out.

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 ***

Join us for what is often the biggest race of the Winter Series. Tie bells on your shoes, dress in your finest holiday sweater and get your ho-ho-ho on as you circle the grounds of the Virginia State Arboretum. This is a loop course on wide gravel roads with just enough rolling hills to make it exciting.

The Winchester Beer Mile Benefits The Lucas Fund
What is a Beer Mile?
A Beer Mile is a drinking game combining running and speed drinking. The event takes place on a 1/4 mile running course. The race begins at the starting line with the consumption of a standard 12oz beer, followed by a full lap around the course. The second lap continues in a similar manner; another 12oz beer is consumed before commencing the running of the second lap. This process is repeated for the next two laps. Following the completion of the forth running lap (and four beers), a competitor has finished the race. Competitors who vomit before they finish the race must complete one penalty lap at the end of the race (immediately after the completion of their 4th lap). Note: Not required to drink an additional beer on the penalty lap. Also vomiting more than once during the race still requires only one penalty lap at the end.
