Founded in 1983 by local running enthusiasts who wanted to share the beauty of the Grand Traverse Region and the Old Mission Peninsula, the Bayshore Marathon has become a “must run” for runners throughout the Midwest and beyond. Many runners return year-after-year to enjoy the scenic courses, which run along the shores of beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. Bayshore events feature a kids’ run, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon. To ensure a more enjoyable experience, the number of runners in all three races is limited. Bayshore races are held on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. Source
