SVR Winter Series #4 - Mystery Distance @ LFCC Middletown
A new addition to the Winter Series! 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 Lord Fairfax 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.

SVR Winter Series #5 - Stickman’s Tandem 5K @ Strasburg
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 school record in the 10k, three time qualifier for the Olympic Trials, owner of Runners' Retreat and all-around awesome guy - Mark "Stickman" Stickley. 2022 will bring the 24th 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)! 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.

SVR Winter Series #7 - Museum Of Shenandoah Valley 4 Miler
We're thankful for the support we received from the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley last winter and their willingness to host much of the virtual Winter Series. This year we're excited to announce they'll be hosting SVR for an in-person event on the completed trail loop. https://www.themsv.org/trails/ Although they're right in Winchester the trails at the MSV wind though open fields, under dense tree canopy and are often watched by the resident bovine. Most of the course will be on the gravel trails with steady climbs and descents.

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 *** Musselman High School Randy Smith Center Inwood, WV US 25428 If you wish to register for just the South Berkeley 5K please do so through the primary website for this event. https://runsignup.com/Race/WV/Inwood/SouthBerkeleyChristmas5K
