From the Organizer
The Bay to Beacon is a race in Harrisville, Michigan including distances from kids 1 miler up to half marathon. Our event is non-profit and is proud to support three local charities: the Friends of Negwegon State Park, The Alcona Historical Society, and The Sunset Project. The race has a fast and flat course in northeastern Michigan; with a beautiful view to match, the course starts and ends in two state parks (Negwegon State Park and Sturgeon Point State Park). Joining us as a destination race is an amazing opportunity for runners to unwind this summer in stunning northeastern Michigan and still get a training race in for those fall marathons.
