Bay to Beacon Race – Run the Coast
The Bay to Beacon is an annual non-profit road race held in Harrisville, Michigan and presented by The Huron Endurance and Resources Project, a 501c3 organization. Registration is open for the event scheduled for August 15, 2026.
The event offers multiple course distances:
- kid's one miler
- 5k
- 10k
- half marathon
All courses run along the coast of Lake Huron and finish with a view of the lake, with an opportunity for a post-race swim. The start and finish are located in two different state parks. The event weekend includes community-oriented activities such as a pre-race pancake dinner and relies on local volunteers.
Race proceeds support three local beneficiaries focused on mental health, environmental protection, and the preservation of local history. The organizer provides information about maps, race day parking, and packet pickup to participants.
The overall presentation emphasizes a coastal route, multiple distance options for different age groups and abilities, community engagement, and directed charitable support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
