The New Bedford Half Marathon is a popular race for racing clubs, so it often has a fast field. The start is late (11am) and easy to get to with ample nearby parking (paid and street). Some of the race is beautiful, with water views and pretty suburban neighborhoods, but other parts are pretty meh. 2024 weather was great, but it can get windy by the water. Course is relatively flat, but there is a significant incline in mile 13, with the last .1 being downhill. I trained for that and didn’t find it to be particularly challenging, but if you don’t have much hill experience and/or experience with the distance, that could be a doozy at the end!

I absolutely loved this race course. I ran the River City Half Marathon as a fun run, so that is definitely a factor in my perspective. It is HILLY, with some fairly steep grades (biggest around the 10K mark), but the rewards for the hills are stunning views of the James River and some of Richmond’s most beautiful old homes.

When I ran the race, it was the first year, but you could never tell. Everything was well-organized both leading up to the event (helpful email updates, clear course and registration info) and day-of. The porta potty lines weren’t long. The start line was easy, with general pace groups (I believe they were by the minute, so if you have a very specific goal, this isn’t the one), and lots of free parking options at both the start and finish line. The start and finish are about a mile apart, so up to you which seems like a better option. The finish line was filled with food, fun swag and photo ops. Great finisher medal.

If you don’t mind hills, this is an awesome course and awesome race. I traveled from out of state to do it and will definitely consider doing so again. Richmond is such a fun city!
