What an unforgettable evening celebrating everything that makes ShadowChase special. The annual Awards Banquet gave us the chance to slow down, come together, and recognize the passion, perseverance, and community that carried us through another remarkable year. From quiet solo miles to shared race-day triumphs, every run told a story that led us here.
As we step into 2026, we’re proud to recognize the runners, volunteers, and leaders who went above and beyond—those who inspired us, lifted others up, and left their mark on our club and the paths we run. Their dedication embodies what it means to be part of the ShadowChase Running Club. Here’s to celebrating these achievements and to another year of showing up, chasing goals, and enjoying the journey together.
