Answer
The 26.2-mile route starts at the Inlet parking lot, crosses the bay into West Ocean City, and follows an out-and-back path to Assateague State Park between roughly miles 2 and 25. The return leg finishes at the Inlet after a scenic Boardwalk segment. Expect bridge crossings, bay breezes, and flat coastal roads rather than mountain climbs.
