Seaway Run

Get ready to experience the beloved Trinity Health Seaway Run, a true highlight of West Michigan's running calendar, returning to Muskegon, MI on Saturday, June 27, 2026. This long-standing tradition invites runners and walkers of all abilities to embark on a memorable journey along the stunning waterfront. Choose your challenge from a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, or 5K, each offering unparalleled views that showcase the natural beauty and vibrant spirit of Muskegon. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 80°F and lows around 60°F, with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, creating a generally pleasant atmosphere for your race.

The Seaway Run is renowned for its scenic, mostly paved courses that wind along the picturesque shores of Muskegon Lake, with the 10K and Half Marathon extending to feature the expansive Lake Michigan beach. Runners consistently praise the breathtaking scenery and the strong sense of community that defines this event. Aid stations strategically placed along the routes ensure you stay hydrated and energized, offering water, Gatorade, gummy bears, pretzels, and essential first-aid supplies. For those tackling the half marathon, experienced pacers are available to help you maintain your desired pace and achieve your goals.

Starting and finishing at the bustling Heritage Landing, the Seaway Run cultivates an exciting race day atmosphere. This central location serves as an ideal gathering spot for participants and spectators alike, providing ample space for pre-race preparations, medal ceremonies, and post-race refreshments. Beyond the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with snacks, drinks, and family-friendly fun, with a special treat ticket to local favorites like Pigeon Hill Brewing or Frosty Cove. More than just a race, your participation supports the Muskegon YMCA's year-round programs, making the Seaway Run a truly impactful "run with a view."
