Under Armour Baltimore Running Festival Registration Up 62%
The Baltimore Running Festival announced that as of July 1, runner registration for this year’s Under Armour Baltimore Running Festival is up 62 percent compared to that time last year. More than 3,000 runners have registered for the event taking place Saturday, October 16. The Festival consists of five races: The Under Armour Baltimore Marathon, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Half-Marathon, Legg Mason Funds 4-Person Team Relay, 5K and Kid’s Fun Run. Registration is up in all five races with nearly 1,500 registered participants in the marathon, more than 1,200 in the half-marathon and 102 teams in the relay. All races have field limits – marathon (4,000), half-marathon (3,000), team relay (750 teams), 5K and Kid’s Fun Run (1,000 each). Last year’s half-marathon sold-out. The race organizers believe that the $100,000 purse is part of the larger draw this year.
