Bayshore Marathon 2027

A flat, out-and-back road course along the shores of Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, Michigan, 100 percent paved. It starts on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College, winds through one mile of residential neighborhoods, then follows the waterfront along the East Arm of the bay via Birchwood Drive, East Shore Road, Center Road (M-37) and Bluff Road. The only rise on the course falls between the 18 and 19 mile markers; the finish is on a track inside the stadium at the start/finish area.
