Altra Charles Street 12 and 2-Person Relay presented by Kelly Benefits

GETTING TO THE RACE

The Altra Charles Street 12 and 2-Person Relay presented by Kelly Benefits is a point-to-point course that travels down historic Charles Street from Towson in Baltimore County to Riverside Park in Baltimore City. Participants typically get to the start line one of two ways:

Park at the Camden Yards Sports Complex (Lots B & C) and take the complimentary coach bus to the 12-mile or relay leg #2 start
Get dropped off at the 12-mile or relay leg #2 start

To make race day smooth, please make sure you have a plan on how you’ll get to where you need to be. The information below will help, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at events@charmcityrun.com.

PARKING

The main parking locations for the Charles Street 12 are Lots B & C of the Camden Yards Sports Complex, accessed by West Lee Street and Hamburg Street. Parking in these lots is $10.00, collected by the Maryland Stadium Authority upon entry. Credit cards are the only method of payment accepted.

Shuttles will be in operation to take participants from the finish line back to the Camden Yards Sports Complex parking lot from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM. Vehicles must be out of lots B & C by 1:00 PM, so make sure you don't miss the last parking shuttle at 12:30 PM!

Please Note: If you prepaid for parking through the race registration website you will receive additional communication via email on how you will access parking.

In consideration of our neighbors in the Riverside neighborhood, we strongly discourage race participants from parking on the street near the finish line. Road closures and parking restrictions will be in place to keep runners safe and will impact the ability of participant vehicles to move during the event. Thank you for your cooperation in advance!

Bus transportation is included in the race registration fee. Please note: There is no parking at The Shops at Kenilworth (start line). The provided bus transportation takes participants from the Camden Yards Sports Complex (Russell Street Service Drive) to the start line (or relay exchange point) PRIOR TO THE RACE START. Relay participants completing the first leg of the race will receive bus transportation to the finish line to reunite with their team member.
