Bayshore is a flat, out and back course run along the shores of Grand Traverse Bay. Throughout the race you have the crystal blue waters of Lake Michigan on one side and beautiful homes and Traverse City’s famous cherry trees on the other side. (Traverse City produces over half of the world’s cherries). It begins on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College. On your return trip you return to the Start Line, and then step onto a track for the final quarter mile inside the stadium. The only ‘rise’ on the course falls between the 18 and 19 mile markers. The Half Marathon course starts near the turn around point of the Marathon course and follows the same route as the marathon back to the finish line. The 10K course is just like the marathon course except that it turns around at 3 miles instead of 13 miles.
