    The Traverse City Track Club Bayshore was started in 1983 by a group of volunteers who wanted to share with fellow runners the beauty of the Grand Traverse region. Since then, Bayshore has evolved into a respected and beloved event that has played an integral role in helping build a healthy, active running community through charitable giving. Bayshore is the primary revenue generator that funds all events, activities and programs of the Traverse City Track Club, which has now donated over $2.5 million to date.

    Each year, Traverse City Track Club selects several 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to utilize the event as a way to raise funds for their organization. In 2026, charity partners will be given a limited amount of reserved race entries. These entries guarantee entry into the Bayshore events once the fundraising goal of $400 is met.
