The Traverse City Track Club started in 1962 with a small group of running enthusiasts coming together each week to share in their passion for running. Over 60 years later, this 501(c)3 non-profit organization has grown into Michigan’s largest running club, with its membership roster currently over 900. Centered in the five-county area of the Grand Traverse region of the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, the Traverse City Track Club prides itself in hosting premier running events and programs, including the annual Bayshore Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K events each May since 1983. The Traverse City Track Club gives back to the community in the form of grants, scholarships, the golden shoe fund, donations to volunteer groups, and other charitable giving, totaling over $2 million to date.
