Bayshore Marathon
Race Day Weather
Warming up, tailwind advantage
Runners will face a temperature rise from 56°F at the start to 71°F by the finish, with humidity around 58%. A light SW wind at 8 mph will provide a tailwind from miles 2 to 10, aiding speed, but headwinds will challenge runners from miles 14 to 21. Adjustments in pacing may be necessary as the race progresses, particularly in the warmer conditions.

Race Info
The Bayshore Marathon is held in Traverse City, Michigan, on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. The USATF-certified, flat out-and-back marathon starts on the Northwestern Michigan College campus, follows the shore of East Grand Traverse Bay along the Old Mission Peninsula, and finishes with 200 meters on the Traverse City Central High School track. It is a Boston Marathon qualifier. A point-to-point half marathon joins the marathon course, and a 10K runs the same morning. Source
