The Skyline Challenge

The Skyline Challenge

"Run Today...Enrich a Life Tomorrow!"

You can make a difference in the lives bring hope to the homeless in our local area today.  

Not only is this a running event that, in its own right, is an epic adventure, but is also a running event to raise money for the homeless shelter in Winchester,  VA. 

The reason why we runners do what we do is that we understand that life is not about just surviving but it is all about thriving!  For most of these families, and children, however, surviving is all they are exposed to.  This sad state of affairs presents to us as a running community with a great opportunity! Giving hope to the homeless and showing them that their community hasn’t forgotten them and that we really do care! 

Race Director’s Note:

As a runner, marathoner, Ultra-marathoner, and a father of seven (that’s not a typo-two of my children were adopted through Warren County); I can think of no greater cause for which to run a race! That’s why I can whole-heartily promise you that running this race will make a real and powerful difference in the lives of of these families.  I also can promise you a race with distinction. We are not going after large numbers but we are devoted to quality in everything we do. As a runner, I have sought to apply everything that I have liked about races that I have run and taken out everything that I did not enjoy. For instance, there will be, on-line registration, same day race packet pick-up, and high quality endurance microfiber polyester t-shirts from InSport and a post race party that is actually worth staying for, just to name a few. In short our goal is to make The Skyline Challenge the best small running event that you have ever been to!  I believe that the purpose for which we are holding this event demands it. There is also a program in which you as a runner can raise additional funds through sponsorships for this noble cause. (See our Show your Support page.)   Any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to contact me personally at 540-660-1402.

Until then Run with Purpose!
