About

The Mt. Baldhead Challenge is a multi-terrain endurance race that combines forest trails, sand dunes, paved roads, and a climb up the stairs of Mt. Baldhead itself, in Saugatuck, Michigan. Runners can choose among several formats, including a 10K and a half marathon (13.1 miles), each offering its own version of the challenge.

The event includes pre-race packet pickup, reserved parking, and a shuttle service. Water stations are set up along the course, with waved, chip-timed starts and a finish line at Coghlin Park. Post-race festivities include music, an awards ceremony, and refreshments. Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Holland, supporting after-school and summer programs.
