Public Transportation

The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) encourages all attendees, especially half-marathon participants, to be mindful of parking and road closures and make Light Rail and Metro Subway your choice of getting to the festival.  

Roadways around town and near the stadium will be closed prior to 8 AM for the marathon and team relay start. This will be further complicated by the half-marathon start at 9:45 AM. 

 Light Rail will deliver riders right to the festival (Hamburg Street or Camden Yards Stop) and provides free parking at 12 of its 33 stops. The Light Rail will begin service at 5:00 am and will run until 11:00 PM. 

 MTA's Metro Subway is also a good option as runners can get off at Lexington Market or Charles Center and walk to the Stadium.  Service will run from 5:00 AM to Midnight and 7 of its 14 stations have free parking. 

There will be 20 Local Bus Routes (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 35, 40, 64, 91, and 98) that will have significant diversions due to the races. 

 For more details, please visit www.mtamaryland.com or call (410) 539-5000.

If you choose not to ride MTA, we suggest you arrive prior to the start of the marathon at 8am.
