This was my third time running the Baltimore Running Festival and I enjoy it each and every time. The swag and bling are always great! Be prepared for a challenging course. I always forget how many hills Baltimore has until this race! While you trend uphill through the first half, you can at least look forward to more down hill momentum on the back side. The course is well supported with aid stations roughly every 2-3 miles. The crowd support from the locals is great as well. Many downtown residents treat this as a big reason to party in their neighborhoods and you feel that energy throughout! Looking forward to running it again!
