The Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium Trail is a 1.2 mile loop offering wide sidewalks, gentle grades, and views of the stadium and the static Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet display. It offers a great path to loop around with friends or solo to get miles in. Plus, being located right near downtown Annapolis you can easily run to or from downtown to add on more mileage and get a post run coffee or breakfast.
Pros of this run spot:
-Gathering place for the local running community
-New monthly coffee run sponsored by Charm City run just started offering an opportunity for a group run
-Easy loop of about a mile allowing for easy ability to have variety in how far your want to go
-Pretty scenery and views of the stadium
-Lots of shade (depending on time of day)
Cons of this run spot:
-Parking can be challenging
-Lots of events are hosted at the stadium and can inhibit ability to use the trail
-Mile loop can feel overly repetitive by for longer runs
Overall, Navy Stadium is a great local run spot for mile loops with a scenery that inspires Annapolis pride.
