The Marathon distance has added additional slots.  It will sell out!

  THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE HALF, 10K AND 5K.  DON'T WAIT TOO LONG AS THESE WILL FILL UP FAST. 

Welcome to the 20th annual Charlevoix Marathon! We are so excited to host you on one of the most beautiful running courses in the world. Whether you're trying to qualify for Boston in the full marathon, or challenging yourself at our half marathon, 10km or 5km course, you're in for an amazing start line on the famous Park Avenue.  You'll run past the amazing Earl Young mushroom houses south through some of the city then out on the path to Fishermans Island.

This year the course will be a mixed surface course.  Asphalt, stamped gravel mix and hard Charlevoix soil. 

There are so many reasons that Running Magazine named the Charlevoix Marathon as one of the best "Small Town Marathons" in the nation. Maybe it's the great lodging, where you can roll out of bed and walk to the start line, or it's the beautiful packet pick up/expo location over seeing the Beaver Island Ferry and gorgeous Round Lake. Maybe it's the great dining before and after the race in historic downtown. The course ventures through beautiful Charlevoix neighborhoods, around our ski mountain "Mount McSauba", down the tree lined roads, along the lakeshore and then turn around at the vast Little Traverse Bay. The course has just enough running traffic to feel the excitement of a big marathon, without any of the pains of major crowds.

Whatever your reason, come be our guest at one of the best marathons in the United States!
