2027 Bayshore Marathon
The Bayshore Marathon is a flat, fast, 100 percent paved out-and-back along Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, MI, on May 29, 2027. It is a USATF-certified Boston qualifier with a 6-hour time limit and is ranked among the top-50 BQ races in the country.
May is a sweet spot in Traverse City, when the bay is calm and the cherry trees are just starting to bloom. Run the scenic, mostly flat path along the water, then reward yourself with a glass of local wine and a slice of cherry pie at one of the waterfront spots in town.
Event Details
≈113 m
The course follows the waterfront along the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, with the bay to your shoulder for most of the day, making for a scenic but exposed run. It is shaded for much of its length, with a short 225-foot climb in the first half mile, after which the profile flattens out.
