Welcome to the 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 Bridge Street, along Lake Michigan and finishing in old town Charlevoix and Round Lake! 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!

At approximately 10:31 on Race Morning, half marathon racer number #1407 Richard Mayer suffered from cardiac arrest 200 yards from the finish line. Mayer was lifeless for approximately two minutes before athlete #2133 Heather Lewis ran to assist Mayer. Lewis is a cardiac nurse in Petoskey, MI and immediately began life saving CPR. It took 7 minutes of CPR and an AED from the brave Charlevoix EMT’s to save this athlete’s life. Heather Lewis went into action without a second thought and saved Richard Mayer’s life and for that act of bravery, we will be presenting the Heather Lewis Award for Bravery at the Charlevoix Marathon annually.
