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.

Event Details
Front Royal’s ACES team (Advisory Committee for Environmental Sustainability) is organizing their annual Earth Day celebration happening in downtown Front Royal and SVR will be there!
Lone Pine Day is named after a locally iconic tree that looks out over Front Royal from its perch high up in Shenandoah National Park, alongside mile marker 3.8 of Skyline Drive. Standing just over an estimated 100’ tall with a 36” dbh (diameter breast-high), the Lone Pine is an Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus), a native evergreen tree species known for its beauty and longevity. For many, this tree is a waypoint, a waving flag welcoming you back home after a trip away. For others, the pine represents a symbol of strength, a sentinel keeping a watchful eye over the community below.
