Allianz Richmond Marathon 🏆
Flat course with a downhill finish = PR!

– Very flat course for a half marathon. Only two or three very minor inclines. Wide streets most of the time, though it got a little tight in the park.
– Crowd support was thin early on, but great at the end. Local residents set up their own aid stations including beer! 🙂
– Great aid stations including pickle juice, energy gel, gummy bears.
– Downhill and scenic finish was awesome. Incredible feeling.
– Post-race party was great. Free brew from Sierra Nevada.
– Expo was boring- just get in and out.
– If you can stay downtown, I highly recommend it. Parking and traffic pre/post race can be a headache.
– 2018 weather was great: sunny and 42 with a light breeze. The race collects and donates discarded gear, so consider wearing some old clothes to the starting line as it’s totally in the shade.
Run RVA- you’ll love it!

– This is a very challenging course even for the pros. Huge elevation gain from miles 1.5 to 3 and “The Farm Basket Hill” at mile 8.5. The final stretch is all uphill, and it’s brutal.
– The course is really scenic- starting out in midtown Lynchburg and winding up through the historic Rivermont neighborhood, past Randolph College, through lovely Riverside Park, and back.
– Very well organized for a small town race. Decent aid stations with water and gatorade. No energy gels or snacks.
– Crowd support is absolutely incredible. Local colleges send out their cheerleading teams, track teams, etc. to cheer you on, especially along the middle of the race.
– The weather is usually crisp at the start, but very warm by the finish. Almost always humid.
– Post-race food is just OK- pizza, fruit, bagels. No beer. 🙁
– Plenty of parking at “The Plaza” which is a 5-10 minute walk to the starting line.
Test yourself at the Virginia Ten Miler!
