ABOUT THE TRINITY HEALTH SEAWAY RUN
Taking place on the 4th Saturday in June each year, the Trinity Health Seaway Run has been a tradition along the Muskegon lakeshore for over three decades. The half marathon was added to the event in 2013. The courses for the different distances all offer views of Muskegon Lake, with the 10K and Half Marathon courses also showcasing our beautiful Lake Michigan beach. With a community walk, and three timed distances – 5K, 10K and half marathon, the Trinity Health Seaway Run has an event for everyone! All courses are barrier free and accessible to those with physical challenges, and volunteers will be available for assistance on race day.
The Trinity Health Seaway Expo, on the Friday before the race, is offered at no cost to the community, so everyone can explore our event partners and have some fun. Visit the expo for health screenings, food, music, kids’ activities, prizes, demonstrations and more.
Since 2012, the event has been a partnership with the Muskegon YMCA; proceeds help support the Y in their efforts to make Muskegon County a healthy place to live, learn, work and play. Check out our Healthy Community page to learn more about the Muskegon YMCA and how they are making our community healthier!
Trinity Health came on board as title sponsor when the partnership was formed. This healthy community event is a perfect match with the organization’s wellness program for associates and with their mission to improve the overall health of our community.
