We hope you celebrate your Irish, or your not so Irish, heritage with us with a run through Baltimores most historic park. Feel free to wear your favorite St. Patricks Day garb or dress like a leprechaun! You are welcome to walk, run, push a stroller, or run with your well-behaved dog at this race.

DATE AND LOCATION: March 17, 2023 at 6:30 PM start time in Baltimore's Patterson Park. Registration, start, and finish line are near pavilion in the middle of Patterson Park, not the one more western one. Searching for Patterson Park Central Pavilion on Google Maps will get you there and so will this link https://goo.gl/maps/2mjbLzKFRG78PUY87

REGISTRATION: Race day registration will be available ($35 for members and $50 for non-members) and begins at 5:30pm. You can join BRRC for $22/year and read all about our incredible benefits here https://brrc.com/membership. The $15 for club members is automatically applied at checkout if you're logged into your RunSignup account as a BRRC member.

AMENITIES: Copper Moscow Mule mugs! These were a hit in 2022, so we're doing the same thing again. Besides, having a set at home instead of just one is a pure class. Drinks are on us at our post-race party in the courtyard at Patterson Park Public Charter School (PPPCS) so bring your ID. Fill your new mug with kegs of local craft beer from Key Brewing. We will also have live music!

COURSE: Want to chase a PR? This might be the course for you! This net-downhill, 100% asphalt course drops 40 feet from start to finish and stays on the wider sections of roadway (no vehicles) through Patterson Park. There is one large climb in the 2nd mile but youre rewarded with a run-by of the Pagoda and a long descent to the General Pulaski Monument before finishing. We will have mile marks and split times.
