Anyone hear of this race before? I think its new this year but I am not sure. 12 Mile run down Charles Street from Towson to Baltimore City passing through all the Universities, museums and landmarks. Sounds pretty cool to me. Here is the link:

Anyone planning on doing it this year?

oh that sounds neat (and if I remember correctly it's pretty downhill if it's point to point) but I think it's too close to Annapolis 10

Yea, it is new... Which makes me hesitate a little. The last "new" race I did was the Annapolis Half, and that, uh, could have gone better.

But I lived in Baltimore, near the Hopkins campus, for years - this would be going back to my old stomping grounds. Hard to say no to that.

I don't know my race schedule that far out yet, but if this fits... I'm in.

I agree that it should be mostly downhill. I also did the first Annapolis Half and that didnt go so well but Charm City Run knows there stuff so I am confident that a first year CCR event will run pretty smooth. I am a little worried about shuttling 5,000 people from the end to the start of the race though. I will have to wait to see if this fits into my schedule but looks like a cool new race.

Where did you see the course finishes at PP live? on the website it says it ends at Locust Point and no map was up on the website??? I figured they would have some more info out by now, the website is pretty bare on information IMO.

They sent out an email just recently on it, and they've updated the "course" section of the site (http://charlesst12.com/course/) to say

"The course will begin at the Shops at Kenilworth and continue through Towson and begin the descent into the city on Charles Street via Stevenson Road. The course will continue into the city on one of Maryland’s Scenic Byways passing many of Maryland’s most charming neighborhoods, universities, churches and monuments. The course will finish running around the Inner Harbor via the Promenade to the Power Plant Live! for the post-race celebration."
