Where to watch
A course-aware spectator plan for Baltimore.
Read the geography first
The course returns toward its starting district. Use the map to choose a fixed anchor and the finish, and never build a plan that requires crossing the live route.
Gold is the selected modeled course; route provenance is stated beside the flyover.

Moving around race morning
The marathon start sits beside Camden Station, the closest rail stop to any of the four start lines, and MDOT MTA adds early service for the race. CharmPass is the easiest fare: $2.00 one-way, $4.60 for a day pass good until 3:00 a.m. the next morning. Cash, credit or CharmCard work at every Light Rail station.
Course geometry provenance is stated beside the player; elevation profiles always use the same route loaded there. City geometry is OpenStreetMap, ODbL. Aerial imagery is from USGS and USDA; other images carry their own source credits. Weather figures use Open-Meteo reanalysis for October 13-21 across 2016-2025 at the start line. Schedule, prices and expo hours were checked in August 2026 and are the fields most likely to move: confirm them on thebaltimoremarathon.com before you book anything. Spot an error?
