Times-Dispatch Kids Run

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 confirm what we’ve been saying all along: The SunTrust Richmond Marathon truly is “America’s Friendliest Marathonâ€! Click here for information.
