GETTING TO THE RACE

The Altra Charles Street 12 and 2-Person Relay presented by Kelly Benefits is a point-to-point course that travels down historic Charles Street in Baltimore County and Baltimore City. Participants typically get to the start line one of two ways:

     1. Park at the finish line and take the complimentary coach bus to the 12-mile or relay leg #2 start

     2. Get dropped off at the 12-mile or relay leg #2 start

To make race day smooth, please make sure you have a plan on how you’ll get to where you need to be. The information below will help, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at events@charmcityrun.com.
