About the B&A Trail Marathon

Annapolis Striders organizes this early-spring marathon with a club-first atmosphere and a compact field. Its simple trail logistics appeal to runners focused more on pacing than spectacle.

Course

The out-and-back route follows the paved B&A Trail through wooded and suburban sections. Rail-trail grades are gentle, though small rises and repeated straightaways still accumulate.

Race-day weather

Late March in Maryland can bring frost, rain, wind, or mild sun. Tree cover helps in places, but cool damp conditions are common enough to plan for.
