Miles of rich history and beautiful scenery waiting for you to RUN WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA.

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 course follows along the parade route so there will be plenty of cheering spectators. This course is flat and fast making it a good race to try and set a new PR!

How far can you go in 60 minutes?

We’ve mapped out a 1-mile loop on the trails at MSV. You have 60 minutes to complete as many laps as possible. Only completed laps will count. For Winter Series scoring the runner who does the most laps is the winner. If there is a tie in laps, the runner who completed the most laps, in the least amount of time, is the winner.

This is a loop course that travels on paved streets and compacted gravel pedestrian walkways. We will have course marshals at major intersections but streets will remain open to vehicular traffic.

The Winter Series is scored on your 6 best finishes in the 8 race series. At this point in the series you are probably recognizing your competition and thinking about how the final series scoring might look. With this race we will try and shake up the series results a bit.

The main racecourse will be a 5K on the dirt and gravel trails through the battlefield. During the race runners will encounter three opportunities to take a detour. Each detour will add approximately 0.15 mile to the overall race distance but will provide runners the opportunity to collect a raffle ticket from a course marshal on the detour. At the end of the race SVR will raffle off several prizes including a gift certificate for a new pair of shoes from Runners’ Retreat.

Will you take the fast route and stay on course to protect your overall Winter Series score or will you gamble by taking a detour to get a raffle ticket and risk getting passed by the competition?

The Third Winchester Battlefield Park is composed of more than 600 acres of preserved land. The Third Battle of Winchester, fought on September 19, 1864, was the largest and costliest battle ever fought in the Shenandoah Valley. More than 54,000 men fought and over 8,600 became casualties in a ferocious see-saw struggle that saw the Confederates gradually forced back until a final decisive attack by Federal infantry and cavalry struck the Confederate left flank, breaching the defenders’ lines, and sending the Confederates “whirling through Winchester”.

Special thanks to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation for preserving this land and hosting the race.

This is a mixed surface loop course that takes you along the river, through downtown Strasburg and around the high school.
