Richmond is AMAZING. Awesome crowd support (especially the last 3-4 miles!), tons of runners but still well organized, decent course, and the last half mile (ish?) is almost entirely downhill. Plus the swag has been decent in my experience, although I haven’t run it since pre-COVID. For a first half in the fall, this would be my recommendation over any of the races in DC.
