The 2009 Donate Life Family Fun Run was scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. started around 8:45 today in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park.

With a little luck, photos will be available here shortly.

An embedded video of the 5K start is viewable above.

The event is run to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation. It was organized by the Living Legacy Foundation.

Along with the usual onfootblog Baltimore Friday running groups, there’s something special happening tomorrow in the city.

Check out this site for more information on biking to work in Baltimore for bike-to-work day 2009.

For people who live in the Hampden, Station North, Roland Park or Druid Hill areas and work somewhere near downtown, it’s pretty easy.  The Jones Falls Trail and an abundance of bike lanes (plus some shared, hashed bike routes) get rid of a lot of the hassle. Other areas of the city can be spotty, though I know that the Pigtown/Carroll Park/Gwynns Falls Trail corridor is also developing nicely for bikes.

As usual, dress safely and don’t over-exert. Good luck!

One more note: This is the first yearly iteration of bike-to-work day for which all MTA buses will have bike racks.

Summer is starting. With that comes a move to Calvert and Franklin. As before, all runs are at noon.

As with past months, here are links to our meetup group (which basically just links back to this post), a printable set of handout slips (for recruiting friends while they run) and a pdf for hanging on bulletin boards. Share them around!
