This is a small race, 40-50 10k racers, more 5k racers, but I did not see them line up. The race benefits a Children’s Hospital. If you live in the area and are looking for something to do, then it is worth while. The race starts right outside the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, plenty of parking. There are 3 races, 10K, 5k, 1 mile walk. You don’t go through the zoo at all. Most of it is in Druid Hill Park, and then some in the city (not in the very good parts). There are plenty of police officers and transportation workers on the route stopping traffic and for security. The 10K started 25 min before the 5K and was sparse, I was able to to keep other racers in sight so I did not get lost, the course is decently marked. The course avoids most of the dreaded hills in Druid Hill Park. There is a generic medal at the end and you get a decent shirt. There is celebration at the end with activities for kids and some pretty good food. Bottles of water, bananas, Gatorade, granola bars and bagels. I got a sausage, egg, and cheese from Towson Hot Bagel. Not the best race I have participated in, but it does benefit a charity and I was looking for a good training race.
