Allianz Partners Richmond Marathon

Run through scenic and historic sections of Richmond, including along and across the beautiful James River. The marathon course is great for first-timers and features some rolling hills. The marathon is USA Track & Field sanctioned and certified and is a top Boston Qualifier.

CarMax Richmond Half Marathon

Sure it’s half the distance, but it’s just as fun! The CarMax Richmond Half Marathon takes everything we love about the full, and packs it into 13.1 miles. So what are you waiting for?! Richmond is calling!

VCU Health Richmond 8K

Get in on the race day fun with an 8k (4.97 miles) run or walk through downtown Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University. You’ll be the first on the course to experience our awesome crowd support and enthusiastic spectators.

Peace of Mind

After making our triumphant return to our downtown course, we are excited to continue to provide you the same superior race day experience that you’ve come to expect when you run Richmond! We pride ourselves on being able to not only organize a large-scale event, but to also make our event feel tailor-made for all our participants regardless of size. From registration, to packet pick up, swag, on course entertainment, aid stations, and more, we want to make every step of your journey easy and fun. We look forward to our 46th year running the Allianz Partners Richmond Marathon and we want to see you at the finish!
