Want to run it next year? Put Bayshore on your Radar and we'll tell you when entries open for 2027 (29 May 2027).
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 half marathon and full marathon. To ensure a more enjoyable experience, the number of runners is limited. Bayshore races are held on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. The Full Marathon starts on the grounds of Northwestern Michigan College then winds through the waterfront along the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay. This out-and-back USATF certified course is flat, scenic, and fast making it a favorite for both runners attempting to qualify for Boston or finish their first marathon! We are working towards our USATF Sanctioning for 2026.
