Hub City Half Marathon & 5K 2027 — Hagerstown, MD
The Hub City Half Marathon starts at 8:00 AM on April 18, 2027, giving you a reasonable window to arrive in Hagerstown, Maryland the day before without an extremely early alarm. The half marathon takes place at Meritus Park, a contained venue that should simplify parking and logistics on race morning. You'll want to book accommodations within easy reach of the park so you can handle your usual pre-race routine without stress.

Course & Travel Notes
The Hub City Half Marathon takes place in Hagerstown, Maryland on April 18, 2027, with an 8:00 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive early since sunrise isn't until 6:29 AM. The course sits at a modest 545 feet elevation, which is pretty manageable for most runners. Hagerstown Regional Richard A Henson Field is just 4.7 miles away, making it super convenient for flying in. Pack layers for mid-April weather—you're looking at typical highs around 65°F and lows near 41°F, so bring a light jacket for the morning start, and there's a decent chance of rain that time of year.
