Course & Travel Notes

At 591 feet elevation, Saginaw offers a relatively flat course that should allow for steady pacing throughout the race. The 7:30 AM start time means you'll be running just as the sun rises at 7:27 AM on September 26th, so bring sunglasses and consider the glare on your route. Plan for mild fall weather with typical highs around 74°F and lows near 52°F, though there's a 29% chance of rain during this period, so pack layers and a rain jacket just in case. MBS International Airport is conveniently located just 10.4 miles from the venue, making it easy to fly in for the BWell Saginaw Strides Toward Wellness 2026 event.
