Taking place in mid-April in Maryland, you can generally expect mild spring weather, which is often pleasant for running. However, spring can be unpredictable, so be prepared for anything from cool and crisp to potentially warmer temperatures or even a chance of rain. Dressing in layers is always a good strategy for this time of year.

Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)
