Road Closure InfoDear Neighbor,
Mark your calendar – Saturday, October 13 – the running of the 7th Annual Baltimore Running Festival. We hope you look forward to this day with a sense of pride, as the Baltimore community will once again be on display for runners from around the country and the world to see. You have not disappointed in the first three years of the event. The runners greatly appreciate the enthusiasm you have shown as they pass through your neighborhoods – the cheering, the candy and fruit, the colorful balloons, the cool mist from a garden hose – all great gestures that make this event so wonderful. We understand the race impacts your routine for a few hours on a fall Saturday, but we’d like to share with you the positives aspects of the race that you may not be aware. Did you know that a total of $29 million dollars has been pumped into the Baltimore economy as a result of the race? Did you know that the Festival has generated nearly $2 million for charity? Local charities such as Baltimore Reads, Moveable Feast, Kids on the Hill and Heath Care for the Homeless, to name a few, have all benefited from the event. As we make plans for this year’s race, we would welcome any input from you so that the event has a positive impact on your community. Thank you.
Road Closures: Please keep in mind the race starts at 8:00 AM and concludes at 3:00 PM. Roads will close approximately one (1) hour before the scheduled time of the first runner passing through.
