Set for its 6th annual running just as summer is getting started here along the Little Bay de Noc waterfront on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, at the northern tip of Lake Michigan, the MISH Waterfront Half Marathon features a gorgeous run that starts and finishes in front of a hotel overlooking the bay, and runs alongside the water for most of the route.

Runners will start the out-and-back course for the race on P Road in front of the Terrace Bay Hotel, known for its stunning views of Little Bay de Noc, named for the native American tribes that lived here centuries ago.

From there, the race unfolds heading north along P Road and U.S. Highway 2, which leads into the town of Gladstone, home to just shy of 5,000 year-round residents.

Runners will start and finish the out-and-back course for the MISH Waterfront Half Marathon in front of the Terrace Bay Hotel along P Road, overlooking the shoreline of Little Bay de Noc. From there, the race heads north along the water, on the trails that wind through Van Cleve Park and Gladstone Bay Campground near Saunders Point. Then a long out-and-back stretch along Bay Shore Drive before heading back through town to the Terrace Bay Hotel again for the finish line.
