Cardio Trail

Got time to burn between flights?

Walk the BWI Marshall Airport Cardio Trail to enjoy some exercise, relieve stress and maintain a healthy heart.

What is the BWI Marshall Airport Cardio Trail?

The BWI Marshall Airport Cardio Trail consists of two different loops in the airport terminal. Both are designated American Heart Association Walking Paths. To walk each loop takes approximately 20 minutes.

The Terminal Loop is a 1K round-trip walk along the public side of the terminal’s upper level (the area with white tile floor prior to security checkpoints). Start anywhere along the upper level of the terminal and walk to the end of Concourse A, circle back to the end of Concourse E, and return to your starting point.

The Concourse A/B Loop is a 1K round-trip walk inside the secured area of Concourse A and B. Start anywhere along either A or B Concourse. Walk to the end of Concourse A, circle back to the end of Concourse B, and return to your starting point.

How do I know where to go?

Simply follow the BWI Marshall Airport Cardio Trail logos positioned on the walls or directories along the trail. Follow the logos and they will loop you back to your starting point. Maps also are available at the BWI Marshall Airport information desks.
