Event comments

TEMPORARY TRAIL CHANGE (December 2021): The Boardwalk is being re-boarded in segments/blocks. The area of 27 to 24 is completed, 24-18 is under construction no walkers or bikes in this area. This will continue until entire Boardwalk is done. So walkers will be forced to walk on Baltimore then return to Boardwalk when there is access to return. NO DOGS are allowed on the boardwalk between May 1 and September 30. Water and restrooms are available at the Start and seasonally along the Boardwalk. Food and drinks may be purchased at establishments along the way. Normally there is adequate parking at the Convention Center. But for very large events there the parking lot may fill up. If concerned, the website is ocmdconventioncenter.com. Fee for IVV credit or non-IVV is $3.00. Children 12 and under walk for free (IVV credit included) courtesy of Freestate Happy Wanderers. If you phone the POC, please leave a detailed message, and she will return your call ASAP.
