Shenandoah Valley Athletic Club 2025-2026 Season

Our guest for September 17th-

Shenandoah Downs: Darrell Wood

Join us for a change of pace as we focus on 4-legged athletes, horses. Darrell Wood, racetrack manager, will be with us to educate us on everything harness racing, wagering, horse ownership and racing management. We will also learn about the Virginia equine industry. While a bit different, this will prove to be a very educational and fun evening.
