If you are aiming for BQ, this is the race to try in VA. The entire route is flat, and over 20 miles are in shade. Your performance will be least affected by the weather. It is a small race with friendly atmosphere and is very well organized. You can get to know other runners easily. You will receive an additional T-shirt if you are qualified for Boston.

I echo the comments of the others, but the course is not good and the race is poorly organized. It is clear if you see the course map, but there are 5-6 U-turns and a few roads where runners run in both directions. Some turns are downhill, so it is not easy for competitive runners to run safely. Some roads runners run in both directions are so narrow and poorly signed that you may need to avoid runners approaching you. You could also take a wrong route since signs are only on roads and poorly marked. The race has the name of the city, but it is organized by a private business for its profit. The registration is not cheap, and the race support is limited.
