B&A Trail Marathon and Half Marathon

The B&A Trail Marathon and Half Marathon is held in Glen Burnie, Maryland, in late March. The marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) both start at 7:30 a.m. and are listed as trail events, along the B&A Trail, a long path that runs through Anne Arundel County.

Marathon runners should plan their fueling and fluids ahead of time, and a half marathon on a long, straight path rewards even pacing rather than a fast start. Layers are useful because Maryland mornings in late March can be cold, with temperatures climbing through the day.
