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.Â
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.Â
SVR is also a sponsor of the Run at the Top series which is organized by Frederick County Parks and Recreation.Â
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
Come on out to Warren County, Virginia (an hour west of the DC metropolitan area) for the Shenandoah Valley’s most scenic road race! The 28th running of the Greasy-Gooney 10K, hosted by the Shenandoah Valley Runners, will take place at 9:00 AM on Saturday 24 October 2026 in Browntown, about eight miles south of Front Royal. Held at the peak of the fall foliage season, our somewhat challenging 6.2 mile road course loops through the foothills of the Blue Ridge, treating runners to gorgeous views of the mountains and countryside. We’ll have awards for the top three overall and for the top three in mostly five-year age groups. Entry fees are $30 early or $40 race day with our race premium (a black running cap with the race logo embroidered in orange) or $24 early/$34 race day without the premium, plus we offer a $2 discount to members of the Shenandoah Valley Runners running club. All proceeds from the race will be donated to the Browntown Community Center Association and the Humane Society of Warren County. Runners of all abilities are welcome to participate! For complete race information, visit the Greasy-Gooney 10K Web pages at www.gg10k.com!
