Headphones or earbuds are allowed but we ask that you either use open ear headphones (like Shokz which you can purchase at Charm City Run :)). If you use other headphones, please keep the volume low so you can hear all course directions from course marshals.

If you opt out of the pre-paid parking, there are other garage options and street parking nearby but these options are less reliable and not recommended to ensure you make it to your start line on time.

Taking an Uber/Lyft or having a friend drop you off? Great! Please use the following destinations to get you close to your start line without creating a traffic backup!

We will be starting the race in 4 corrals (A, B, C & D) based on the expected finish time you entered during registration. A letter on your bib will designate which corral you have been assigned to.

Times are estimated finish times:
Corral A: 1:40:00 and below
Corral B: 1:40:01 - 1:59:59
Corral C: 2:00:00 - 2:11:59
Corral D: 2:12:00 and above

Relay runners may start in any corral. If you are running the second leg of the relay, you will wait at the entrance to Cathedral of Mary Our Queen for your partner to tag you. There is no baton or timing chip that you need to physically exchange - just a high five will do! Please follow the directions of race staff at the relay exchange point. 

We are fortunate to have the talents of the Baltimore Pacemakers team to guide our 12-Mile runners!  Pacers will be positioned with signs in their applicable starting corrals, so if you've got a goal time in mind, find your pacer and you'll be in good hands! If you are in between pace groups and your goal pacer is in a different starting corral, you may move to be with that pacer!

Pace groups will be available for the following finish times (1:40; 1:45; 1:50; 1:55; 2:00; 2:05; 2:10; 2:20; 2:30)
