Mt. Baldhead Challenge

Mt. Baldhead Challenge in Saugatuck, Michigan, is the Midwest’s premier multi-terrain race. Participants choose the 10K+ (about 7 miles) or the Half Marathon (13.1 miles), weaving through woodlands, dunes, waterfront views, and the friendly streets of Saugatuck–Douglas to the Mt.

Baldhead summit. The course blends roughly 50% trails with 50% water vistas and features a climb of 302 steps to the iconic peak, with elevations of about 750 feet for the 10K+ and 1050 feet for the half. In 2025, the 25th anniversary is celebrated with a post-race party.

Net proceeds support free youth programs via the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Holland. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
