Belcara Health is a unique, multidisciplinary practice where patients in Baltimore can access plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, integrative medicine, and nutrition services under the same roof.

The Belcara Health 5K course will once again start at Light and Pratt Streets in Baltimore’s iconic Inner Harbor. The flat 5K course will show off the scenic views of Charm City’s most famous landmark before finishing down the amazing home stretch as the other race distances – along Pratt Street near McKeldin Square. All 5K runners receive a crab themed finisher’s medal, which features Camden Yards in 2019, along with an Under Armour race shirt.
