Annual Banquet – Early First Quarter
For at least one night the club puts away the running shoes and trades them for dancing shoes and a little fun.
The annual banquet features a themed dinner, raffle prizes and games provided by the club, as well as a bar for members to purchase their favorite beverage.
The formally “MC’ed” event features some club business, mainly the election of the board directors, followed by the presentation of the President’s Award and possibly others.
A “Year-in-Review” video or photo presentation prepared by one of our members has become a much anticipated staple of the evening.
The banquet normally goes late into the evening with music and dancing. It’s a great send off to the year that was, and a “kick-off” to a new running year!
Prediction Run
The Prediction Run is the opportunity for ANY Santa Clarita Runner to take home the top prize. The objective is not necessarily to run the fastest…but to run the time you predict. Runners start based on their predicted finish time, so those who figure to run the fastest start last. The challenge, of course, is everyone runs without watches or timing devices and can’t see the clock until they’re finished.
This absolutely unique event is free to all SCRs and is run in spectator-friendly Central Park. The treats and chatter that follow make for a fun filled morning.
Where: Central Park
Distance: 3-5 miles. Course and distance revealed just prior to run.
When: June TBD, 2025
Independence Day Classic 5K
A greater than 30 year tradition in the Santa Clarita Valley!
This 5K also includes a “Kid’s K” and “Non-Competitive Walk” and is held each July 4th, benefiting the Cross Country teams of each of the six Santa Clarita Valley High Schools as well as other charities.
The 5K route is a fast, flat, paved out-and-back on the City of Santa Clarita parade route, leading to one of the best cheering sections in Southern California.
Overall Male/Female and 3-deep in age group awards are given and all “Kids K” participants receive a finishing medal.
An outstanding way to kick off the holiday morning with the family!
Summer Social
A non-running event for a change! Late summer, club members gather for pizza, beer, and ice cream. This is a chance for new members to meet more of the longer standing members that they may not yet have run with, and for everyone to catch up with each other on recent news and upcoming plans.
Jack-O-Lantern Jog
Easy-ish 5-mile course with some Trick or Treat twists along the way. This is a free event for club members. Run in your favorite Halloween Costume for a chance to win a prize. Coffee, snacks, and social time after. Your junior runners are welcome to participate as well. This is not a Boston Qualifier event, but you will qualify for SCR Race Series Points. Boo!
Turkey Trot
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble…Every Thanksgiving morning we work to get hungry, in preparation for our Thanksgiving feasting!! How do we do that?
The best, tried and true way to work up an appetite on Turkey Day is to attend the SCR Turkey Trot!
A run around the paseos to help build up your appetite for a big eating day. Bring your favorite snack for the potluck social after the run.
Jingle Bell Jog
We run around a local neighborhood to admire the holiday decorations! Wear your festive running gear and bring a light. We will meet up for dinner after the run. Feel free to join us even if you don’t run.
