    Under Armour Baltimore Marathon Announces Course Changes for 2006

BALTIMORE, MD. – Corrigan Sports Enterprises announced today the official 
course for the 2006 Under Armour Baltimore Marathon.  The event, which is 
now in its sixth year, has had a course change for the sixth straight year.

"Every year we try to make adjustments based on runners' comments, input 
from the community and the Baltimore Police Department," stated Lee 
Corrigan, president of Corrigan Sports Enterprises. "These two slight 
changes will provide the runners with a better course and will be less 
intrusive to the community."

The course remains almost identical to last year's with the exception of 
two changes.  Instead of running up and down Hillen Road, which was an 
added elevation of 50 feet, the course will now travel further down 33rd 
St. before making a right on to The Alameda for a little more than a half 
mile.  Runners will then make a u-turn at Crestlyn Rd and head back to 33rd 
St. to finish the final five miles of the race.

Another change occurs in the Federal Hill section of the course where 
runners will run down and along Key Highway before turning down Lawrence 
St. and making a left onto Fort Ave. to begin their journey in and around 
Fort McHenry.  Last year, participants ran down Hanover St. to get to Fort 
Ave.

The Under Armour Baltimore Marathon is one of five races that make up the 
Baltimore Running Festival.  Other races include: the CareFirst BlueCross 
BlueShield Half Marathon, the United Way 5K, Legg Mason Team Relay and the 
Kids' Fun Run.  All participants receive a free Under Armour performance 
apparel shirt as well as a medal.
