B&A Marathon and ½ Marathon finishers:

Thank you for participating in another successful race; it was great to hear so many positive comments and warm wishes.

Many runners familiar with the course may have noticed the mile markers seemed off. This was due entirely to a course error in the first mile in which the runners were allowed to proceed directly from the Start onto Evergreen Road, instead of turning left onto Robinson Road We immediately recognized the error and where able to make the necessary adjustments to the course by adding distance to the ½ marathon mid- point turn-around and an extension in the school parking lot. The effort was validated by dozens of runners’ GPS, which recorded the ½ and full marathon at very slightly longer than the required distance.

We have already begun the process of officially certifying the distances for both races and will send additional updates when the certification results are available.

We regret any anxiety this created for our runners.

Thank you for your patience in this matter,
Christian Zazzali and Joshua Harriman
Co-Race Directors

Attention B&A Marathon and 1/2 Marathon runners, Fans and Volunteers

The Annapolis Striders Race Committee is monitoring the weather very closely. We will attempt to make a definitive announcement regarding the status of the race no later than Noon on Saturday 4/7.

This Announcement will be on the Annapolis Striders Website, the Facebook home page as well as a mass email to all runners on file.

We appreciate the anxiety of the uncertain “weather” situation, and we will do everything in our power to communicate all information as soon as we know it.

B&A Marathon and Half Marathon Medals

All medals were ordered on Monday 3/27, the current ship date is 4/17 with expected arrival to us on 20th.  We will immediately mail them to the registration address of all runners who completed the half marathon and didn’t receive a medal.

Congratulation on finishing and thank you for your understanding and patience.

B&A Marathon and Half Marathon Race Directors,
Christian and Josh

Congratulations B&A Half Marathon and Marathon Finishers

Congratulations to all runners of the B&A Half Marathon and Marathon.  Check out the results page to review results, awards, and race pictures. Also many thanks to the volunteers that helped make this race a success.

This year so many participants signed up in the last week of registration and during the expo that in the end, we exceeded last year’s number of finishers by 28%. The downside is that 4% of the finishers were unable to receive a medal because we ran out! The Annapolis Striders will be working to ensure that these finishers get their medals and race premiums. If you have concerns please email the race directors at ba_marathon@annapolisstriders.org.
