Hi -

Anyone else doing the Richmond marathon on 11/13?  I am a first timer at this event and I was wondering about the elevation profile of the course.  It looks like pretty minimal ups and downs overall, but wanted to check with someone who's run it before.

Thanks.

I ran it last year, and it's probably my favorite event.  I wanted to repeat it this year, but didn't have time for the training.  Some of the party-zones on the course are pretty cool.

There are no significant climbs on the course.   The last quarter mile or so is all downhill.

Enjoy.

Thanks very much for the feedback.  I'm looking forward to the race.  I've never been to Richmond - should be a fun way to see the city.

I am running it.  Hoping my legs will be recovered from MCM by then.

Woot!  I am leaving after work to drive to Va Beach, then the family and I are headed to Richmond in the morning.  Very excited as I have heard only good things about this race and the weather looks perfect!  Good luck to everyone!

Conditions were perfect. I could not imagine a better day for a race.

Richmond puts on a good race. No wonder why Runners World chose them for their destination race.
