Patrick Henry Half Marathon August 29, 2009

Welcome to the Patrick Henry Half Marathon, a combined event of the Richmond Road Runners Club and the Sports Backers. Named for Hanover County’s famous Colonial-era patriot, Patrick Henry, who proclaimed the Revolutionary War’s rallying cry, “give me liberty or give me death,” the 13.1-mile race starts and finishes in Poor Farm Park in Hanover County, traversing both rolling countryside and Ashland’s scenic railroad district.

The race location is 20 miles north of Richmond. All half marathon finishers receive a special technical race shirt and a custom finisher’s medal at the finish line. Entries are limited to the first 1,500 so don’t miss being part of this unique race.
