Race morning brings thousands to the stadium for staggered starts into downtown Annapolis and the waterfront before looping back through Anne Arundel County neighborhoods. Expect smooth asphalt, gentle but persistent hills, and long straights that reward steady pacing rather than pure flat-out speed. The half marathon headlines the day, with the 10K and 5K offering accessible options for newer runners and speedy tune-ups alike. Post-race festivities spill back into the stadium concourse with medals, music, and a celebratory finish-line scene that feels distinctly “Annapolis.”
