Shenandoah Valley Runners Annual Member Banquet

Join us on April 11, 2026 for the annual Members Banquet of the Shenandoah Valley Runners.

The banquet will be once again be held at the Millwood Station Banquet Hall at 252 Costello Dr in Winchester. 

Doors open at 4pm with food served at 5pm and presentations starting at 5:30pm. The event is expected to conclude before 9pm. 

Registration for the banquet is only $1 though it is restricted to active club members. If you have family or friends that would like to join you at the banquet they will need to establish a club membership and register for the event. Fortunately, the annual club membership is only $15 for individuals ($10 for students).

At the banquet the club President will give members a "State of the Club" update, we will hear presentations from featured speakers, and the club will present several awards. 

Awards will include 

• Winter Series overall and age group

• Winter Series Perfect Attendance

• Runners of the Year

• Volunteers of the Year

• Ray Gordon Spirit of Running Award

If you have earned an award but will not be able to attend please try to have someone collect your award on your behalf at the banquet. 

We will not be mailing awards and do not have the space to store unclaimed awards so we can not guarantee that they will be available after April 13th. 

SVR will provide the main dish with both meat and vegan options (caterer still TBD) and we are asking members to bring a side-dish, salad, or dessert to share. Anyone that brings a dish to share will have an additional opportunity to win a new pair of shoes from Runners' Retreat.

Lastly, we are continuing the tradition of using the banquet to gather donations for Highland Food Pantry. In prior years we have collected just under 500lb of donations. Let's set a new record this year! Click here to see what they need most.
