About the MISH Waterfront Marathon
The course runs along the shore of Little Bay de Noc, starting and finishing at a waterfront hotel. A non-motorized path carries runners north along the water to a park, where shorter-distance runners turn back and marathon runners press on through the northern part of Gladstone, including a stretch of boardwalk with open water views on both sides.
Packet pickup is at the start hotel the evening before, with race-morning pickup also available. After the race, a local tavern pours Upper Peninsula craft beer at the finish area, alongside an awards ceremony and expo vendors.

The MISH Waterfront Marathon has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
