Hi all! I hoped to have a recap ready for you by now but it’s been a crazy week. I’m really excited to share all the details of another amazing running weekend in my favorite place in the world to race.
Until then, I wanted to make sure you know that there are special 2013Â Richmond Marathon and Half Marathon prices that end at midnight tonight, Thursday, November 15.
Special Richmond Marathon and Half Marathon Prices
- Marathon: $65
- Half Marathon: $55
Considering the full marathon is currently less than I paid for this year’s half, it is a fantastic deal! Plus, you can always drop down to the half if you change your mind about running a marathon or get injured.
It’s also an amazing price considering Richmond is a magical place to run and wonderful things happen there. I’ll be back next year for the third year in a row – THAT is how great it is. And if you have any questions at any time, the Richmond Marathon is very responsive on their Facebook page (unlike a certain other marathon).
You also get a lot of value for your money in this race as Scott at iRunnerBlog mentioned. There’s a fantastic expo where you get a free long-sleeved tech shirt, they print your name on your bib, the three races that all take place are organized so extremely well I can’t believe it (especially this year with the sudden influx of 800+ NYCM runners) and there is a really awesome and fun post-race party on a huge grassy area called Browns Island. There’s booze, food, music, giveaways and more.
More pictures and details coming very soon. If you register, let me know!

SO glad you had another good trip to Richmond. From someone who grew up here and now lives her adult life here, I thank you for the good PR for our fair city. Richmond has a lot going for it, including a wonderful running community. Thanks for getting the word out. We have long suffered from low self esteem as a city, and it is great to see folks from the big city have fun here. Today on NPR they had this segment on runners coming down to a different marathon after NYC marathon was cancelled. It was not about Richmond, but about the Philly marathon which was yesterday. Richmond kind of gets ignored, but oh well… Glad you had a great time.
