FREE Richmond Marathon Finisher Certificate

Not sure how I missed this the first time around, but a week or so ago I was looking back at photos on Brightroom.com from last year’s Richmond Marathon and noticed an option to order a finisher certificate for the race. In previous years, race organizers have mailed certificates directly to participants several weeks after the event has taken place, but I guess in effort to cut down on expenses, many are now offering the “print-your-own” or order online option.

Anyway, if you ran and completed the race, here’s how to get your FREE (well, I guess it’s included in the entry fee somewhere) Richmond Marathon Finisher Certificate:

• Head over to the Richmond Marathon web site.
• Scroll down and click on the “Past Results” link (it’s near the bottom of the left menu).
• Click on the “Participant photos taken by Brightroom Photography” link under the 2007 section.
• Enter your Bib Number (if you can remember it) or Last Name and click the “Show Photos” button.
• Hopefully your name will be listed under “Here are the entries that match” on the next page. Click your name if it is.
• Now you should be looking at a page containing your photos from the Richmond Marathon. Click on the “Official Finisher Certificate” button above your photos.
• On this page you’re presented with two options – “Free Official Finisher Certificate” and “Official Finisher Certificate with Photo”.
• Not surprisingly, I chose the FREE option and clicked the “Add To Cart” button.
• Don’t worry about the photo on the next page, just check the quantity is 1, the price is $0.00 and click “Check Out”.
• Complete the shipping information, click “Submit Order” and your FREE Official Finisher Certificate will be on it’s way to you!

Mine only took 7 days to arrive from the time I placed my order, and I must admit the quality is excellent. The certificate is printed on Kodak ENDURA Professional paper and is sized at 8″ x 10″. Now I just have to find a suitable frame for it….
