🌧️ Inclement Weather Policy

This is the Winter Series and we will run in the cold, sleet, and (maybe) snow.

Safety: YOU ARE THE BEST JUDGE OF WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE TO TRAVEL TO/FROM AND RUN IN AN EVENT.

If the Race Director concludes that an event must be canceled, all efforts will be made to quickly communicate the change in status. The SVR page on Facebook and email blasts will be the best source of current information.

🤝 Volunteers Needed

SVR is a non-profit running club and the Winter Series is managed 100% by volunteers. Please consider volunteering to help. Volunteers are needed before, during, and after each race. Many volunteer slots do not overlap with the race so it is possible to volunteer and compete. Click on the "volunteer" tab on the left side of the screen to sign up.

🏅 Swag

Swag item: Will be announced soon. Swag is only guaranteed for the first 750 runners to check-in for the full Winter Series. We are not offering t-shirts or other swag for individual races.

Merchandise: SVR and Winter Series apparel is available for purchase through our friends at RunWinchester.com
