Beat the October 1 Price Increase!

Why run Richmond? It’s the little things that add up. Course amenities, like junk food stops and wet washcloths. Friendly and courteous volunteers who treat you like more than just a bib number. Even an online registration system that doesn’t hit you with extra fees to sign up. It’s what led Runner’s World to selected us as a site for their Runner's World Challenge and to confirm what we’ve been saying all along: The SunTrust Richmond Marathon truly is “America’s Friendliest Marathon”! Go to the SunTrust Richmond Marathon website.
