4th time doing this race. Only negatives are there is not much food left at the finish line for slower runners. The last two years I finished at 4:45ish and 5:37. Not much food there. The cutoff is 6 hours. Race shirts run small just so you know. Those two things said, the race is SUPER well organized, amazing volunteers, each year there are more and more bandit aid station with beer and even mimosas this year.

The residents that live alone the course are super supportive.
Great race!

Great race, beautiful course. Well organized and wonderful volunteers. Medal was awesome. I’d have given it 10 starts but they ran out of ice cream and potato chips at the finish line. They heavily advertise these two locally made products. I finished in under 5 hours and all the premium treats were gone. Only granola bars and cookies left. But other than that it is a fantastic event. I’ve done it three times.
A top five marathon!

I've run Bayshore for years. It is a beautiful out and back along the shore of the Great Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. Every mile brings stunning scenes. Bayshore has always been the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. This brings out super supportive volunteers and spectators in a festive atmosphere. Expect to take a little longer to finish to get all the great pictures. Cut off time is 6 hours but I've seen many finish up to about 7 hours with an official time. I'll see you there.

Loved this race! I can see why it was voted one of the most scenic courses in the US! This was a totally stress-free experience: no hassles with packet pickup, parking, no congestion on the course, good running surfaces and good support from residents. Shuttle buses ran as scheduled, volunteers were friendly and helpful. If I get the chance, I will be back!

Well run race. It is an out and back. They start the half at the same time as the full at mile 13 which I appreciated. Might be an issue for fast runners. Course has rolling hills and is scenic.
Love this race!
