air travel to the lighthouse 100

If you are traveling to the LIGHTHOUSE 100 by plane, you have three main options:

  • Traverse City (Cherry Capital Airport . . . TVC):  TVC is only a few miles from downtown Traverse City (about 15 miles from the start line (Mission Point Lighthouse), and about a 1 hour drive to the finish line (Petoskey Lighthouse)). 

  • Gerald R. Ford Airport (GRR); Grand Rapids:  GRR International Airport is a two-hour drive from Traverse City.

  • Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW):  Most United States cites have a direct flight on Delta Airlines to Detroit, which is about a 4-hour drive to Traverse City and the LIGHTHOUSE 100 course.  


Hotels

For the LIGHTHOUSE 100, you will have an unlimited number of lodging options, both near the start line and the finish line.  The finish line area (Petoskey/Harbor Springs/Boyne/Charlevoix) have dozens of hotels, motels, B&Bs, and world-class resorts within 30 minutes of the start line, to fit every style and budget.  

And near the start line, Traverse City has dozens of lodging options itself.  And you can also find unbelievable hotels/inns/resorts on the Old Mission Peninsula where the race starts (many of these inns also double as vineyards and breweries!!)
