A lot of fun people sign up for this race. I was put into Corral D – based on my estimate pace. I was nursing a right knee / calf injury from my first Half Marathon a month prior. But I ended up still passing a good amount of people. Only 1 Aid Station that was PACKED so plan to carry your own water if possible (this saved me time). I had to swerve around a lot of crowds / walking participants. After Party was very crowded and hard to navigate. Overall a fun experience!

This is my 2nd time running this race; however, I never had an opportunity to run it in person. This year I had to run it virtually due to a work commitment. The local run store, Charm City Run, put on a great production and are very well organized from registration to race day.

This is a wonderful 5K! You start off downhill and then it’s pretty flat from there (maybe a few little hills). Charm City Run does an excellent job with this race and the post race party is one of the best. Highly highly recommend this race!

One of the largest 5k in Baltimore, I highly recommend taking the train or light rail as parking is a bit of hassle. Finish at the power plant and have a beer with your buds! Nice flat course!
