Course, logistics and awards
The course runs through Druid Hill Park and around the Baltimore Zoo. The original course was rerouted because of the lake closure; the second half includes hilly sections. The organizers note this is not a PR course. Packet pickup is available the day before the race at Falls Road Running Store (6247 Falls Road, Baltimore 21209). Pre-registered runners will receive race photos and post-race refreshments. Awards include top three overall male and female, overall masters, top two in age groups (19-and-under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-plus), and an overall winner non-binary category.
