This is a fast course. When I was 64 I ran 1:26:27, my best half marathon time of the year by several minutes. The first six miles is very fast but you need to be ready for the downhill. Your quads take a beating. The last five miles is flat and boring but if you can hang on, you will get yourself a good time on a certified course. The race director and staff are really nice people. It sells out fast. Put it on your list.

The Baltimore 10-Miler course is a loop course that starts and finishes at the scenic Druid Hill Park, home of the Maryland Zoo. There is plenty of on-site parking, and those who plan their travels and arrive early will enjoy the sweet sounds of summer in the park as they arrive and prep for the start.
Runners have 3 hours to complete the course, a running pace of 18:00 minutes per mile, and enjoy a wave start whichallows runners to thin out and gain some elbow room as they begin their journey of north Baltimore. The course travels on many of the same roads used on the Baltimore Marathon course andsomerunners use this race as a preview of what’s to come in the fall.The out-and-back pattern of the course runs many of the same roads in each direction. The turn around point is along the spacious and flat path around Lake Montebello, always a fan favorite with its nice scenery, wide and newly paved roadways and the band or DJ that Corrigan Sports plops at the courses furthest point from the startline.
Runners return to Druid Hill knowing a cold towel, delicious watermelon and adult beverages await them after they conquer Mile 9. It’s not like running in Kansas or on the boardwalk at the beach, but more than 20,000 runners have completed the course and lived to brag about it. You will too!

Fontana's Half Marathon Run is known as the fastest Half Marathon due to the gradual downward slope of the course as well as one of the oldest Half Marathons in the United States.
There is an elevated drop of 2,125 feet from start to finish and because of this, most participants are able to record their personal record time (PR) in Fontana.

A Little History:
"We wanted to create a traditional city marathon on par with those in New York, Berlin or London. In addition to the full marathon, we wanted to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among people of all ages, interests and occupations. We have prepared a number of non-competitive short-distance runs for those who are not yet ready to run the marathon or the half marathon," said Carlo Capalbo, president of PIM.
The Prague International Marathon originated in 1995 and has been on the fast track to international acclaim since then. The marathon founders including C. Capalbo had no idea how successful the first edition would be. 958 runners flooded the streets of Prague in June 1995 and the number grew to over 4,000 ten years later. Another 10,000 people took part in the short-distance non-competitive runs at this time as well.
Marathon runners around the world associate the race specifically with its visually stunning course. The PIM ranks among the ten greatest marathons in the world in the book entitled The Greatest Marathons in History by Italian
Four years after the foundation of the Prague International Marathon, the organizers decided to introduce a half marathon for Prague runners. The Half Marathon is becoming the most popular event of the PIM Running series. Every year thousands of runners take part in this demanding and fast paced race. They take in the beautiful scenery while preparing for the start on the Charles Bridge.A number of running magazines from around the world included the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon among the top ten or even top five half marathons in the world!
PIM has been expanding and introducing new races such as the September Grand Prix, In-line races, and the Junior Marathon (all since 1997). The Marathon Music Festival (since 1999) has provided musical accompaniment at all PIM events.
In 2012 we launched the RunCzech running league at RunCzech.com, comprising three races held in Prague (marathon, half marathon, Grand Prix) and three half marathons taking place in Ceske Budajovice, Olomouc and Ústí nad Labem. In 2013 we added the Mattoni Karlovy Vary Half Marathon. In 2014, all of these races drew in 69,807 participants. One of the new features of this series is the running league ranking which awards points to the runners for each completed race
