Following the beautiful scenic shores of Little Bay de Noc, this Boston Qualifying race route starts at the waterfront Terrace Bay Hotel. Heading North along the non-motorized pathway, the route winds along the Lake Michigan shoreline to VanCleve park, where 10K runners will turn around and head back to the Terrace Bay Hotel. Full and Half Marathon runners will continue on. Passing through VanCleve Park, runners will experience scenic views of Lake Michigan along a scenic boardwalk, through the northern portion of Gladstone, eventually returning along the non-motorized pathway back to the finish at the Terrace Bay Hotel.
After your long run, enjoy an Upper Peninsula Craft Beer served by Freshwater Tavern, complimentary refreshments, awards ceremony, and check out the expo vendors.

I’m a Yooper and would not have thought about MISH for a race I would sign up for. It was all in all a mediocre half. My friend did not like the amount of time spent in the highway and roads for the full. It was well organized and I did place in my age group which has never happened before. Little options for post race nutrition. Nice medal.

I stayed at the race location start which was super helpful literally walked out my door and there was the start line. Very small race with great race pace group. Route in the middle of the race was a little confusing and since there were so many turns I feel like the signage could be better. After party was not much to speak about but that’s ok I just wanted to get in the shower as it was very humid the day of the race.
Great place to run in Michigan
Nice flat course with great scenery around the lake. Very peaceful quite frankly. Enjoyed all the staff and volunteers throughout the course. MORE

I needed Michigan and this was it.
Very small race, no thrills. They needed several more water stops and porta johns on the course. The volunteers were very friendly, and guided you where to go. MORE

Adequate pre-race communication.
No pre-race expo.
The race shirt, while a tech tee, could have been better.
Nice medal.
Starts and finishes at a small resort.
Great scenery as a large portion of the course is on a paved trail at the top of Lake Michigan.
Ran a large portion of the race in a downpour that included hail and lightning so I don’t know that I got the full scenic experience.
The course is super flat for those looking for a PR. If I wasn’t dodging puddles, I may have had it.
