Patterson Park
The fifth running of this race will be held on New Year's Day - starting a new tradition in Baltimore. The entire family can begin the New Year by participating in the 5K Run or 1 Mile Walk on a course entirely in beautiful Patterson Park with pre and post-race activities at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church Hall across Baltimore Street from the start/finish line. Walkers are particularly encouraged to join runners in an afternoon of exercise and fun - a great way to start 2009. Proceeds support Earl's Place, a transitional housing program, providing safe, secure supportive housing to homeless men and will assist these men as they work to reclaim their lives from hopelessness.
