Let patriotic pride fuel you on this tour of one of America’s great seaside towns. Starting at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, it’s hard to not feel your heart swell listening to the national anthem in the excitement-filled moments before the race starts. Out on the course, runners loop around the lovely, brick Maryland State House before running past the Naval Academy. Once across the challenging but beautiful Naval Academy Bridge, racers enjoy an out-and-back section that allows plenty of racer-to-racer cheers and support, as well as views of Round Bay, an inlet off the Chesapeake Bay.

Great location with a fabulous view from the crest of the bridge. Very loooooong hills making this a challenging course. We stayed in the historical area which was close to the race start and restaurants. For fun take a pub crawl tour. This primarily a lady's race but there were a few men doing the race.

Zooma's okay--I've done this race twice and it's okay, the running through downtown Annapolis is nice. Weather was good this year.

Very pretty course that was open for 3:30. Historic Annapolis was charming and the view from the Naval Academy Bridge was fabulous. Disappointed in the boring shirt and finishers necklace, though. Guess this one has to be about the race, not the bling. :D

It poured before the race and at the start so there were lots of puddles to run through. It is a somewhat narrow course for as many people as run it.

Nice race celebrating women but not a great course.

Boring course considering Annapolis is such a beautiful city. I felt bad for the people who came wanting to run through the city

Altho a race for women, it is open for men so I was one of a handful of guys in the race. Some tough hills in the first 4 and last 2 miles; the middle is thru the B&A trail, pretty and with some blessed shade on this sunny/warm/humid day.

I ran this as a pacer. Ok, needs work on the expo-for the price it should have been better. Pretty good and hope for improvement on a good course
