Entry fees are non-refundable; race numbers and entries cannot be transferred to another year or person. No exceptions. This means once we have received your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate, and you may not give or sell your number or timing chip to anyone else. Anyone found participating with another person’s number will be disqualified and both people will be barred from future Sports Backers events, including the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k and SunTrust Richmond Marathon.
If you are already signed up for one race and want to switch to the other (i.e., the marathon to the half marathon), you may do so in person at the Race Expo/Packet Pick Up. There is a $10 fee to do so, along with any applicable entry fee increase.
Race Packets will NOT be mailed. All packets MUST be picked up at the Race Expo held at the Arthur Ashe Athletic Center on Thursday, November 8 from 5 to 9 p.m. and on Friday, November 9 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
THERE IS NO RACE DAY PACKET PICK UP! A photo ID is required to pick up your race packet. You may pick up a race packet for another pre-registered runner, provided you have a copy of their photo ID.
Yes, iPods and other personal listening devices are permitted. We ask that you please remember that you are sharing the roads with other participants and, in some cases, vehicular traffic. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Sign up online by visiting our volunteer page.

The SunTrust Richmond Marathon utilizes the ChronoTrack "B-Tag", a light-weight disposable timing device that comes attached to your race bib and requires no additional application. Do not remove the timing tag from the back of your bib!
POWERade is the official replenisher of the SunTrust Richmond Marathon. Mountain Blast Powerade (the blue stuff) is served at every water stop. Assorted flavors (vanilla, chocolate & citrus orange) of Accel Gel are offered at Miles 14 and 21 on the marathon course and Mile 8 on the half marathon course.
