The SunTrust
Richmond Marathon has partnered Donate
Life to increase awareness of organ and tissue donation.
The
ChampionChip timing device, embedded with a unique code
and enclosed in a protective plastic shell, is attached
to each runner's shoe and is slightly larger than a quarter.
Each chip sends a signal to sensor mats laid across certain
points on the course so your exact time and place is recorded
at those intervals.
POWERade
is the official replenisher of the SunTrust Richmond Marathon.
Mountain Blast Powerade (the blue stuff) will be served
at every water stop. Vanilla along with several other flavors
of Clif Shot will be offered at Miles 14
and 20.
