About
The Maryland Half Marathon and 5K takes place in Columbia, Maryland, in early June. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 8:00 a.m. and the 5K follows at 8:30 a.m., on roads rather than trails.
Early June in central Maryland is typically warm and humid, so a half marathon at 8:00 a.m. may feel hot by the later miles. Start conservatively, drink at the aid stations and wear light, moisture-wicking clothing. Runners moving up to the half marathon distance should have long runs of 10 to 12 miles in training beforehand, while the 5K is a friendly choice for beginners or for family members who want to run on the same morning.
