Counterclockwise loop in Baltimore City, starting & finishing @ M&T Bank Stadium.

Slight modifications have been made to the 2005 course. The course will still travel through the many diverse neighborhoods including the scenic Inner Harbor waterfront area, historic Federal Hill and charming Fells Point. The half-marathon will again start at the 13-mile mark of the marathon course BUT will split after 2/10 mile (half-marathoners will have their own lane to that point) and will rejoin the marathon route later in the race. The additional separation between the marathon and half-marathon courses will alleviate the "bunched-up" merge point and make for a smooth transition. ALSO, half-marathon participants will wear a "1/2" bib and team relay particpants will wear a "R" bib on their backs to distinguish them as half-marathon and team relay participants, respectively.

The 11th annual Under Armour Baltimore 
Running Festival contributed an estimated $30,565,500  to the city and 
state's economy according to a recent study by RESI, an economic research 
and consulting firm located at Towson University (see chart on page 2).    This year the event attracted a record 25,000 runners, marking the ninth 
consecutive year of 10-15% growth from the year prior.
