Richmond Marathon (Read 437 times)

I am running this race in November... Has anyone run it and care to give a report?? I appreciate it!

I ran it in 2007. The toughest part is crossing the Lee Bridge - it is about a mile long and it was straight into a freezing cold wind last year. The best part is running down along the James River. I didn't really care for the steep downhill finish - my quads were toast and the downhill hurt. I guess it is better than an uphill finish, however! The crowd support is very good. Tons of spectators in the neighborhoods and at the "fan zones". Overall, it is a very solid marathon.

Would be interested to hear reviews as well. Will be a first-timer in Richmond this fall.
