About the Baltimore Half Marathon

The Baltimore Half Marathon has its own later start and opening course before merging with marathoners. That separate timing and route identity support a dedicated row within the Baltimore Running Festival.

Course

The first three miles use a half-only route from the Inner Harbor before meeting the marathon near Patterson Park. Baltimore's rolling streets reward even effort before the combined finish crowds.

Race-day weather

Mid-October in Baltimore often brings mild mornings, but warmer sun and humidity are still possible. The later half-marathon start can expose runners to more heat than marathoners.
