Other than the surprising warm (65-75 degree) weather for November (2022), I’d say this race was nearly perfect.
Once registered, the race team almost overcommunicated with emails to ensure we knew all the necessary details. The expo was easy to get to and while not the largest I’ve ever attended, had a good selection of vendors (and a few nice giveaways). Parking ahead of the race was a bit more difficult than I think any of us planned, so arrive early!
The course does have a few tricks up its sleeves, but overall is not that tough (weather notwithstanding) and was well supported. It would be nice for a few more gel spots on the marathon course and I didn’t understand why they held the pickle juice back to mile 23.
The swag was pretty, with a thicker long sleeve shirt, a really nice medal, and even a finish blanket! The immediate after party was cool – a few drink options and free pizza along with some food for purchase. I do not know Richmond well, but it was also easy to get out once we finished partying.
