Dashing Through the Snow 5K - Saginaw

Dashing Through the Snow is a winter trail 5K held at Imerman Memorial Park in Saginaw, Michigan on December 13, 2026. The event benefits the Barb Smith Suicide Resource & Response Network, with proceeds aimed at supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Sponsors include Bayne’s Apple Valley, Jolt Credit Union and Team One Credit Union.

The course is a 1.5 mile loop completed twice on a firmly packed trail that runs through woods and along the Tittabawassee River. The route is mostly flat with a few small inclines. The trail will be ungroomed and will not be plowed if snow arrives; participants should be prepared for winter conditions. A water station is located near pavilion 4 and will be passed twice during the race.

This USATF sanctioned event will be professionally managed and timed, with online results posted after the race. Custom finisher medals and t-shirts are provided; t-shirt sizes are guaranteed only for registrations completed by midnight Sunday, December 6, and registrants may decline a shirt to save five dollars. Registration is limited to 350 participants.

Packet pickup and late registration take place Sunday, December 13 from 9 AM to 11 AM at Bayne’s Apple Valley, 5395 Midland Rd, Freeland, MI, approximately three miles from Imerman Memorial Park. Dogs are not allowed to participate except service animals. Overall awards are given to the top three male and female finishers and top masters 40 plus.
