Oktoberfest 5-Miler presented by Altra

Sunday, October 25, 2026 8:00AM
Charm City Run - Columbia - 7090 Deepage Drive Columbia, MD 21045

RACE DAY PARKING

The start and the finish are a short walk from each other (.5 miles). Please obey all posted no parking signs and be respectful of our neighbors (do not block driveways, leave trash behind, or park in parking lots for other businesses).

If you plan to park close to the finish line: Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Lincoln Tech, runners are welcome to park in their large parking lot adjacent to Black Flag. There are over 400 parking spaces in this lot, so we highly recommend parking here. Please note that you will need to enter from Berger Road, as the other end of the driveway will be blocked off for the finish line. Follow the sidewalk down Snowden Rive Parkway and cross at the pedestrian crosswalk at Carved Stone.

There is no parking or race traffic permitted in the Charm City Run parking lot or the Black Flag parking lot (or surrounding parking lots in the business park that surrounds Black Flag). Please help us be good neighbors to the other businesses that will be open on Sunday morning by not taking up their customer parking.

If you plan to park close to the start line: Street parking is available in the neighborhoods located off of Carved Stone Drive and Deepage Drive near the start. Again, please do not block residential driveways or leave any trash behind.
