Started in 1962, this 501c3 non-profit has grown into northern Michigan’s largest and oldest running club, with its membership roster reaching 700.
Centered in the five-county area of the Grand Traverse region of the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, the Club prides itself in hosting premier running events, including, since 1983, the Bayshore Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K Events. The Bayshore enables the Club to provide financial support in grants, scholarships, and work group gifts. Over $1.6 million provided to date. All of this results from our mission to promote and encourage health, fitness, fellowship, community service, family recreation and competition via running and walking for all ages and abilities.
