With a PR score of 9.4, this marathon features a remarkably flat course that allows for an efficient stride throughout. Runners navigate through scenic St. Michaels, Maryland, known for its charming waterfront and historic ambiance, making the experience visually rewarding even as the body tires. However, only 9.4% of participants have qualified for Boston here, suggesting that while the terrain is forgiving, competition can still be fierce.
