Overview

A gorgeous run along the waterfront awaits the thousands of runners who flock to this small city on Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay each spring for the Bayshore Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K, which has been run here for more than three decades and sells out well in advance each year.

Challenging and occasionally hilly, the 13.1-mile course for the half takes runners along waterfront areas for virtually the entire length of the race, nearly all the way to the finish line at the track and field complex of Traverse City Central High School.

Course Description

Runners will start the Bayshore Half Marathon along Devil’s Dive Road, just south of Peninsula Township Park. From there, they’ll head east on Blue Water Road to Bluff Road, where they’ll turn right and run along Traverse Bay for the next several miles. They’ll make turns onto Center Road and East Shore Road before heading into town, where they’ll cross the finish line at the track and field complex of Traverse City Central High School.
