2010 Marathon and ½ Marathon Course Changes

The 2010 Marathon course is a 2 - loop route.  The race starts and ends at the Public Beach and runs thru town, Gull Harbor Road along Lake Michigan, and out Donegal Bay Road.

3.5 Mile Harbor Run

Not up to the ½ or a marathon? The 3.5 mile harbor run includes Gull Harbor Road which is arguably the hi-lite of the Beaver Island Marathon!

After Your Race
