Mayor Dixon Announced the Under Armour Baltimore Marathon

Baltimore, MD (October 10, 2008) – Yesterday, Mayor Sheila Dixon announced the 2008 Baltimore City Marathon. Last year’s course brought positive responses from the running community. Slight modifications have been made to the 2008 course with the opening of the Hilton Convention Center Hotel. The course will still travel through the many diverse neighborhoods including the scenic Inner Harbor waterfront area, historic Federal Hill and charming Fells Point. The loop around Lake Montebello will return this year giving runners flat terrain near mile 21.

The half-marathon will again start at the 13-mile mark of the marathon course, but as it has done in the past, it will split after 2/10 mile (half-marathoners will have their own lane to that point) and will rejoin the marathon route later in the race. The separation between the marathon and half-marathon courses alleviates much of the congestion at the merge point and make for a smoother transition. ALSO, marathon participants will wear a "FULL" bib and team relay participants will wear a "R" bib on their backs to distinguish them from the half-marathon participants.
