Known for its riverfront courses and historic neighborhoods, Richmond has earned its reputation as "America's Friendliest Marathon" city. The James River provides a scenic backbone for many marathon routes, while fall races showcase the city's stunning autumn colors through neighborhoods like the Fan District and Church Hill.
Most Richmond marathons cluster around October and November, when the Virginia weather hits that perfect sweet spot for 26.2 miles. Morning temps typically start in the 40s during race season, warming to comfortable running temperatures by mid-morning. The city's rolling terrain offers enough variation to keep things interesting without the punishing hills found in other East Coast races.
Most big events set up at the Richmond Convention Center, an easy walk from the downtown hotels where many runners stay. Local running stores host shakeout runs in the days before major marathons, giving out-of-towners a chance to learn the course's tricky spots from Richmond regulars.
Check the filters above for upcoming Richmond marathons - the popular fall events often hit capacity by mid-summer.
