BURNThe Great Baltimore Burn
Hosted by the Baltimore Rowing Club
why 'the burn'?
The Great Baltimore Burn is named after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. The blaze spanned 70 city blocks and burned for over 30 hours, requiring the help of more than 1,200 firefighters before the flames were brought under control. Historically, our event takes place the first Saturday in February.
     The name is also a play on the deep pain you feel in your legs during and after the 2000m sprint ... but you already knew that part.
