THE COUSE
The Happy Middle Ground Distance 😉
The Baltimore Running Festival 10K will start at 8am with the full marathoners just outside Gate A of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Together, they will run up Eutaw St. between the famed warehouse and the stadium, making a left on Camden St. Runners will run right on Paca St. following the marathon course for the first 2 miles.
At this point the 10k runners will split from the marathoners and make their way to Maryland Ave. before dropping down back into the city and crossing the finish line on Pratt St.

(The 10th member, and anyone after that, will automatically receive the discounted price. Members 1-9 will get a refund directly back to the card used to pay for registration.)
