The Oriole Advocates’ Home Run Returns as a Virtual Event
The Oriole Advocates’ Charitable Foundation, Inc. is pleased to announce the return of the Oriole Advocates’ Home Run as a virtual event. The Oriole Advocates hosted races annually from the late 80s through 2008 for fields of runners from 400 to over 1,000 athletes. The races were tied to Opening Day and were highlighted by finishes inside the ballpark. One of the more notable races began in Memorial Stadium and finished inside Camden Yards in its inaugural year.
“The Oriole Advocates’ Home Run was a highlight of the year for runners throughout Maryland”, said Jim Menendez, President of the Oriole Advocates’ Charitable Foundation, Inc. “However, the cost of holding races in the City and the emergence of many competing events throughout the year made it difficult to continue hosting the Race.”
COVID-19 has introduced alternatives to the way we do things. One of these are Virtual athletic competitions which allow athletes to compete and support organization but in a safe manner and on an individual basis. The 21st Oriole Advocates’ Home Run will be open from Saturday, October 16 – Sunday, October 31, 2021, and participants can register for the event at charmcityrun.com.
Proceeds from the Oriole Advocates’ Home Run will benefit the Oriole Advocates’ Charitable Foundation, Inc. a 501 (c) (3) corporation which supports organizations both domestic and abroad who promote baseball at all levels for individuals of all abilities.
