Results Recap

Rocktown Run Results!

A vicious sprint by Ike Cupp placed him a single second ahead of David Fraizer for first place. The run began with a nice "neutral, parade pace" where everyone ran very slowly together until the race went "live" at the top of South Avenue. This parade section is rarely seen in a running event but is typical for a bike race...

1.Ike Cupp 29:12
2.David Fraizer 29:13
3.Kyle Lawrence 31:52
4.Chase Lyne 32:05
5.Vince Bowman 32:32
6.Jack B 35:16
7.Dane Beyers 38:29
8.Jason Burch 38:30
9. Ian Philips 41:21

Rocktown Trail Run Recap!

Big thanks to all those local businesses who donated prizes to the event. I think this year like past years just about everyone left with a prize in hand. We had a good turnout with passionate runners and good volunteers. The course was marked very well with many arrows and tape at every turn. Not a single runner missed a turn despite the spider web of trails that Hillandale has to offer. I want to take a second and think the following local businesses for donating prizes to the event. Make sure that you support these local businesses, not only did they donate to the event but they also help out the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition throughout the year!

Big Thanks to the following establishments

Clementine Cafe: The SVBC holds their monthly meetings in the lounge and Clementine emphasizes helping out and building community in Harrisonburg

Blue Nile: The delicious Ethiopian food and fun downstairs bar has housed numerous SVBC gatherings.

Artful Dodger: Located in Court Square, the Dodger has been a vital part to downtown revitalization ever since it opened. Where else can you get coffee/breakfast AND have a dance party until 2AM?

James McHone Jewelry: Another downtown institution, James McHone is always supportive of SVBC events and is the most personable jeweler in town!

Wilderness Voyagers: We have a gem in Harrisonburg to have a small locally owned top-notch outdoor gear store. These guys know everything there is to know about outdoor gear and they are all members of the SVBC. They contribute greatly with trail work at Massanutten and in the National Forest.

Shenandoah Bicycle Company: One of the few viable retail spaces in downtown Harrisonburg, SBC has and will continue to support local cycling as best as possible.

The Race Returns for the Third Year!!!



The Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition is pleased to announce the third addition of the ever popular and venerated Hillandale Trail Run. This 10k race is a popular favorite and the locals have been anxiously anticipating a chance to battle it out on the finest trail network the city of Harrisonburg has to offer. This event showcases the premier trails created by the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition within Harrisonburg's own Hillandale park. This multi-use trail network is over three years old and each winter the Coalition adds more mileage to the trails. The trails provide a vital and unique experience for users, either on bike or on foot. The system is designed around a stacked loop trail system where the trails begin with easy "green" trails, progress to the more difficult "blue" trails, and then finally the most challenging "red" trails. As the difficulty increases riders can hone their skills on rocky, narrow trails where they can practice negotiating tricky singletrack sections that they may encounter out in the National Forest West of town.

Stay Tuned for more information about the event. As of now the run is scheduled for Saturday April 17th, mark your calendars!
