Super Bowl Trail Run

Get ready to kick off your Super Bowl Sunday with an exhilarating 7-mile trail adventure at the Super Bowl Trail Run on February 8, 2026, in Baltimore, Maryland. Hosted by the Baltimore Road Runners Club, this popular event is renowned as "the best way to start Super Bowl Sunday," offering a fantastic opportunity to burn off some pre-game calories amidst the stunning natural beauty of Cromwell Valley Park.

The scenic 7-mile course winds through Cromwell Valley Park, a true "hidden gem," featuring rolling hills, a diverse blend of fire roads, open fields, and primarily captivating single-track trails. Runners can anticipate an engaging journey through nature, culminating in a fast downhill finish. To keep you fueled, a welcoming hot chocolate station awaits just past the mid-course mark. Typical race day conditions in early February often see highs around 45F and lows near 31F, with a slight 13% chance of precipitation, promising crisp and refreshing trail running weather. The race begins and concludes in the Talmar area of the park, with bib pickup starting at 7:15 AM, and carpooling is strongly encouraged due to parking arrangements via the Sherwood entrance.

What truly sets the Super Bowl Trail Run apart is its vibrant post-race celebration and impactful cause. Participants are treated to delicious pulled pork sandwiches and a refreshing beer from Independent Brewery, creating a festive atmosphere perfect for reflecting on your accomplishment. Beyond the camaraderie, your participation supports a great cause, as net proceeds benefit Cromwell Valley Park and the Talmar Group, contributing to crucial programs such as summer camp scholarships for children and therapeutic horticulture for veterans.
