Richmond Marathon

Beginning downtown, moving through the VCU campus down to Monument Avenue and through the historic fan district, the race then takes you down to Riverside Drive where you are parallel to the waterfront.

Continuing on up through Forest Hill, the race then weaves back through VCU and the Fan to bring runners around the Sports Backers Stadium, up past Sugar Shack Donuts with two miles to finish at Brown's Island.

The race has live DJs, bands, spirit groups and party zones to pump you and give you that extra motivation.
