About the Kanawha Valley 5K Winter Series

This is a winter series of several road 5Ks spread across a few months, each race held at a different location in the Kanawha Valley area. The races land on holidays and winter weekends, so the atmosphere tends to be a little different from a typical morning race. Series awards go to the top finishers overall and by age group, calculated across all the races combined.

To earn series awards, you have to finish every race in person. All races are live only, with no virtual option unless circumstances force a change. The bundle registration covers the full series, and anything you earn for completing it is picked up at the final race, not mailed.
