“America’s Friendliest Marathon” is true. Everyone at the race was friendly, and even everyone in Richmond in general. The communication and production of this half marathon made it easy to navigate the parking, start line, and finish line areas. The maps on the race website were well done and great for our prep. Our group had a mix of half runners/8k walkers, and we all met up at the finish no problem. The course itself is mostly flat, and the last half mile is downhill – something I looked forward to probably starting in mile 10. The main hilly part is in and around Bryan Park, but the gorgeous Fall leaves are definitely enough to distract you.

We enjoyed the fleece blanket and hat that we got along with our medals at the finish line. Definitely helped protect us from the cold while we sat and enjoyed our beer, and we’re looking forward to having them as memories from our first half.

As a side note, we loved that the 8k started at almost the same time, and they got to participate and be celebrated too – with medals, goodie bags, pizza, and beer. It makes it great if you’re traveling out of town for the half with family who’d like to walk the 8k and see a bit of Richmond while you run. It made our day that our 8k walkers had such a great experience along with us.
