Through April 22, registration costs $30 for the general public, $20 for students, seniors, members of the US Armed Forces, Believe in Tomorrow families and Home Depot employees, $15 for children under age 10 and $40 for "virtual runners," who receive a T-Shirt and bib without attending the race itself.

Not a Runner? Volunteer!
A lot of training and preparation goes into a 6K race, so if you're not an avid runner, there are still ways you can contribute. More than 100 volunteers are needed to help with the set-up, execution and clean-up of the race. If you are interested in volunteering, visit the Charm City Run race page here.
