Mt. Baldhead Challenge
Saugatuck, United States • 6 Sep 2025
The Mt. Baldhead Challenge, held in Saugatuck, Michigan, is a premier multi-terrain race celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025. Participants can choose between a 10K+ (approximately 7 miles) or a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), both featuring a mix of woodland trails, forested dunes, scenic waterfront views, and paved streets.
A signature challenge is climbing 302 steps up Mt. Baldhead, the tallest dune in town. The courses offer significant elevation gains (750 ft for 10K+ and 1050 ft for the half marathon) and showcase the natural beauty of the area.
The event supports local youth programs and concludes with a festive celebration at Coghlin Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
