Official course linksThe Bayshore Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K (Traverse City) route starts at Devils Dive Road (to Seven Hills Road), near the marathon turnaround; runners shuttle by bus from Traverse City Central High School. The course opens with an approximately 225-foot climb in the first half mile before becoming relatively flat and finishes at Traverse City Central High School track, with the final 200 metres run on the track. Underfoot, expect a trail course. The setting includes coastal and lakeside. Held on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
Gear-check bags are available at packet pickup and near the start lines; runners must write their bib number on the bag. Bags are retrieved near the finish line. Unclaimed bags are kept for one week then donated. Center Road (M-37) reopens to traffic at 1:00 PM, affecting roughly miles 18.5-21 of the marathon return; the finish line closes at 1:15 PM for all events. Personal music devices are allowed but discouraged; the organisers encourage running headphone-free to develop camaraderie on course. Free pace groups are offered, led by experienced pacers in branded blue shirts carrying finish-time signs.
