Start of 2005 race.

Corrigan Sports Enterprises announced today the official course for the 2006 Under Armour Baltimore Marathon. The event, which is now in its sixth year, has had a course change for the sixth straight year.

"Every year we try to make adjustments based on runners' comments, input from the community, and the Baltimore Police Department," stated Lee Corrigan, president of Corrigan Sports Enterprises. "These two slight changes will provide the runners with a better course and will be less intrusive to the community."

The course remains almost identical to last year's with the exception of two changes. Instead of running up and down Hillen Road, which was an added elevation of 50 feet, the course will now travel further down 33rd St. before making a right on to The Alameda for a little more than a half mile. Runners will then make a u-turn at Crestlyn Road and head back to 33rd Street to finish the final five miles of the race.

Another change occurs in the Federal Hill section of the course where runners will run down and along Key Highway before turning down Lawrence Street and making a left onto Fort Avenue to begin their journey in and around Fort McHenry. Last year, participants ran down Hanover Street to get to Fort Avenue.

The Under Armour Baltimore Marathon is one of five races that make up the Baltimore Running Festival. Other races include: the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Half Marathon, the United Way 5K, Legg Mason Team Relay, and the Kids' Fun Run. All participants receive a free Under Armour performance apparel shirt as well as a medal.
