Grab your green for one of Baltimore's largest and most festive 5Ks! Run through the city and finish at Power Plant Live! for an epic after-party. I did forget my green but I still had a blast!
Location:
Charles and Mulberry Baltimore, MD US 21201
Options:
5k Only
Organizational Effectiveness:
It was tough finding the starting line at first. Many runners walked up and down the street socializing until enough of a crows gathered and announcements were being made. There is no registration available on race day.
Trail/Course info:
The course is flat and narrow. Expect over crowding at pinch points which is going to slow down your finishing time. The views are of refurbished factories and storefronts with artistic character. There was tons of fun at the starting line!
Start Line location: Charles and Mulberry Streets, Baltimore, MD. Finish Line location: Power Plant Live!, Baltimore, MD. The USATF-certified 5K course is a point-to-point course.
