2020 Patrick Henry Half Marathon was a GO for in-person racing!
Saturday, August 29 - It was hot. It was humid. But 326 intrepid souls ran and walked the 2020 Patrick Henry Half Marathon in-person.
Check out the RESULTS!
Sports Backers and RRRC worked hard to revise the event plan to meet the current social distancing requirements. Thanks to the runners and the organizers it was a highly successful return to racing in-person in RVA.

Virginia Governor's Executive Order 67 (2020) and Order of Public Health Emergency 7
This Executive Order was effective July 1, 2020 for Virginia's "Phase Three Easing of Certain Temporary Restrictions due to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)."
We're sharing relevant excerpts that guide decisions on club races and training programs.
A. EASING OF BUSINESS RESTRICTIONS
12. Recreational Sports
Indoor and outdoor recreational sports activities are permitted, provided participants and organizers of recreational sports activities comply with the Guidelines for All Business Sectors and the sector-specific guidelines for recreational sports expressly incorporated by reference herein. Such guidance includes, but is not limited to, the following requirements:
Ten feet of physical distance should be maintained by all instructors, participants, and spectators, where practicable.
The total number of attendees (including both participants and spectators) of recreational sports cannot exceed the lesser of 50% of the occupancy load of the certificate of occupancy for the venue, if applicable, or 250 persons. For sports played on a field, attendees are limited to 250 persons per field.
B. CONTINUED RESTRICTIONS
1. All Public And Private In-Person Gatherings
All public and private in-person gatherings of more than 250 individuals are prohibited. The presence of more than 250 individuals performing functions of their employment is not a “gathering.” A “gathering” includes, but is not limited to, parties, celebrations, or other social events, whether they occur indoors or outdoors.
A few words from your RRRC Officers
These are challenging times.
We will do our best to continue to engage and connect runners and walkers in the RVA community. We'll be using email and social media to stay in touch. As needed, we'll put on other low-cost virtual events to help keep us all motivated to stay physically active.
We will work with our race directors to continue the behind-the-scenes planning for upcoming RRRC races so we all can gather on the roads and trails again when that is allowed. Those races may open for sign up later than usual and may be low-frill, but we plan to be ready.
We thank the wise leadership of RRRC over years past. RRRC established and has maintained a healthy financial reserve that will allow this organization to weather these uncertain times.
We encourage you to stay physically active. We're preaching to the choir, but you know that running and other forms of physical activity offer untold benefits to our own and our communities' well-being.
