Bayshore Marathon
Flat and fast along Grand Traverse Bay, out the Old Mission Peninsula and back.
About the race
The Bayshore Marathon starts on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City and winds through a mile of neighborhoods before reaching the water. From there it follows the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay on Birchwood Avenue, East Shore Road, Center Road (M-37) and Bluff Road, up the Old Mission Peninsula to the turnaround. Runners come back the same way, pass the start line and finish with a quarter mile on the track inside the stadium.
The race was founded in 1983 by local runners and is put on by the Traverse City Track Club on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. The course is fully paved, shaded for long stretches and almost flat, with its only rise between miles 18 and 19. It is USATF certified, so it counts for Boston qualifying, and many runners come back year after year for the bay views.
The poster draws the full out-and-back route on a map of the bay and the peninsula. Most of the designs put the date and a vertical year at the top, with the runner's name, finish time and pace along the bottom. They come in Bayshore Blue, Midnight, Sunset, Shoreline, Daylight and Orange & Black. Sky Blue & Red is a different layout, with a large BAYSHORE title, the runner's name, bib and time at the top left and a red route with road labels. Each one is designed by hand after you order, with the runner's details added.
