I am in Baltimore for a couple of days,, staying by the Inner Harbor. I have access to the hotel treadmill, but I'd rather run outside if feasible. How safe is running around the Inner Harbor area in the pre-dawn hours (i.e. 5:00-6:00 a.m.)? Any recommended routes? Any running groups at that time of day, running anywhere from 8:00 - 9:30 pace?

Thanks in advance.
Inner harbor is boring to run and relatively unsafe for a white part of Baltimore - a lot of attacks and occasionally runners have been pushed into the harbor.
I’d recommend driving a bit north and running around Roland Park - Roland avenue north of coldspring is very safe and the area around homewood (jhu main) is too
Believe in the Run is headquartered very nearby. They have group runs, and often run the area. They are an affable group. You could try to contact them or Strava the area for routes.
For anyone interested (and made it past the juvenile responses above), I took a route south on Light Street into the Federal Hill neighborhood, and around the Leone Riverside Park area. It is a reasonably quaint area of rowhouses, and didn't feel unsafe in the slightest. Very little traffic that early. I would/will do it again if I return to town.

Seems okay so far. If it weren't, I wasn't joking about the colorectal surgery society national meeting that's going on at the moment. Surely one of them could help me out in a pinch!
Hi, you're welcome to join me on a run if you'd like. I have routes I do at about that pace for anywhere from 4-11 miles. I've never had a problem around the harbor but def wouldn't wear earbuds and be aware of your surroundings.
Thanks for the offer, but I left that area earlier this evening. I'm up in Towson now, and hoping to get to the Towson HS track tomorrow for some 800 repeats.
100% safe. I worked in the Inner Harbor for over a decade.. I'd run from Locust Point to Patterson Park and knock out a great run 5 x week for many years at 6am.
A man was assaulted, possibly by juveniles, at the Inner Harbor on Tuesday, according to Baltimore Police.The assault was reported just after 7:50 p.m., police
