Reflecting on the Last 20 and Looking Towards the Future
Charm City Run was named after our hometown of Baltimore, affectionately referred to by locals as the Charm City. No matter how far we go from our original store location, Charm City will always have a feeling for us of coming home. In each of our stores and at our events, we aim to bring that nostalgia, community-oriented spirit, and of course, our famous Run Crab to you.
