Entries will be confirmed by mail beginning in August. Entries received after October 15 may be confirmed by visiting our web site. Online and mail-in entrants who provide a valid email address also receive instant email confirmation. All marathon runners receive a special SunTrust Richmond Marathon sports bag, a custom race medal and mylar blanket at the finish line and are mailed a certificate to recognize and commemorate their accomplishment. The SunTrust Richmond Marathon uses the computerized ChampionChip timing system.
Chip timing allows each runner's time to start when they reach the starting line.
Your finish time is calculated precisely when you cross the finish line. Runners are provided with a chip in their race packet and must return it at the finish line. Runners who already own a chip may use it by filling in the chip number on the entry form. You may pick up a race packet for another pre-registered runner. The top four times for each team will be counted.
