Patapsco Trail Race
about 6 8 miles
Sunday, May 20, 2011 at 8:30 AM
Note new date is a week earlier than originally scheduled!
Patapsco Valley State Park - Avalon area 1250 South Rolling Road(parking) Catonsville, MD 21228
This race begins at the Rolling Road Park & Ride, and goes immediately into the single-track trails of Patapsco Valley State Park. The course will be about 8 difficult miles among the hills of the park, and is likely to include some water crossings. Walkers are discouraged due to the time commitment required of the race volunteers..
Registration race day only, at the venue, beginning at 7:45 AM. $2 for BRRC and HCS members, $6 for non-members
Goucher College continues to welcome the local community to its campus, and offer its support for many local running organizations. However, during the school year, the college now asks we all park at the lots adjacent to Kraushaar Auditorium rather than at the Athletic Facilities.
BRRC is grateful to Goucher for continued access. We encourage all runners to park as soon as you enter campus and jump out to start your run!
Saturday Long Runs
7:00AM or 7:30AM Saturdays throughout the year
alternating between NCR Trail Papermill parking lot (map) and Loch Raven Drive at Morgan Mill (map)
BRRC holds group long runs on Saturday mornings throughout the year. There is no charge for this program. Visitors and non-members are welcome to participate.
The runs alternate between the NCR Trail and Loch Raven Reservoir, so flat and hilly courses are both covered. Occasionally the group will meet at other venues for variety, such as with other groups led by a BRRC member, supported runs on the Baltimore Marathon course, or at local races. Early start times also occur as the weather gets hotter and some participants go further. Please read the Twitter announcements above for the location and start time on the day you plan to attend!
Distance and pace vary as runners with similar goals work together. Runners not targeting the marathon are welcome to run a shorter distance.
