The race started at the Shops at Kenilworth in Towson, going west along Kenilworth Drive to Charles Street, and then south down Charles Street to the Inner Harbor, continuing down Light Street to Key Highway, and then onto the Key Highway Extension to TidePoint, finishing in front of Under Armour's Headquarters at Locust Point.
The course had a fairly difficult uphill in the first mile, then another uphill at miles two and three, but from there it was mostly downhill until the last three miles, which were mostly flat.
