 "All in all one of the best small marathons around." (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 The scenery is hard to beat. I never believed that there was anywhere on Lake Michigan that the water could be that blue and clear. Traverse City is one of the gems of the midwest. | |

"GREAT COURSE!!!!!!!" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 3 This was my 26th marathon and is now one of my favorites. Nice people and one of the most beautiful courses I have ever run on. I have run the Seaside Marathon in Oregon, this course has more shoreline views. I will be back! | |

 "Spectacular Scenery ... Memorable Marathon" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Hal Higdon summed it up well when he noted that the beauty of the Bayshore Marathon is 'a well-kept secret'. It shouldn't be that way much longer. An out-and-back, well-shaded, flat-as-a pancake course along the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay (not Lake Michigan as our friend from Atlanta notes in her/his comment), this is a PR course if there ever was one. Bayshore offers a runner-friendly event that is efficiently organized, with well-staffed aid stations, the '99 race offered an awesome t-shirt and classy medal, with a great start and finish on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College. Of the ten different marathons I've run during the past three years, this one remains #1 for course scenery and friendliness by organizers and runners. I hope to run Bayshore again! | |

"All around wonderful low-key marathon!" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 Bayshore is a beautiful, scenic course that follows the Lake Michigan shoreline for the majority of the run (with forest, fields, and vacation homes on the opposing side.) First-timers and recreational marathoners will enjoy the ease of the course accompanied by the sights and the friendliness of spectators and volunteers. Those looking for a PR may be successful as the course is virtually flat and can be very fast. In addition, the race is well organized and set in a wonderful resort town in Northern Michigan on a Holiday weekend with plenty other activities to make the trip worthwhile. Bayshore does not have the hype of a big city mega-marathon but is every bit as satisfying and much more personal. I would recommend this marathon to everyone. |
