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.
