Join Us for the Saginaw Saturday Morning Run/Walk!Starting May 2, 2026, until September 26, 2026
Looking for fresh air, exercise, and great fellowship? Every Saturday morning at 8:30 AM (weather permitting), you are invited to join us for a group walk or jog. Whether you are a seasoned runner or just beginning your fitness journey, this group is for you!
The Details:
• Where: We meet at the YMCA of Saginaw parking lot, right in front of the main entrance.
• The Course: A scenic 2.2-mile loop through Celebration Square, along the Saginaw River, through Ojibway Island, and past the Japanese Tea House and Saginaw Zoo OR a scenic 2.2-mile route along the Saginaw River
Your Pace: This is a "move at your own pace" event. There is no sign-up, no cost, and absolutely no competition or judgment. If you arrive and the group has already started, feel free to begin the course on your own!
Preparation & Gear:
• Clothing: Aim to dress for 10–15° warmer (or cooler) than the current forecast. Layering is key so you can adjust as you warm up. Check out this guide for the best [workout fabrics](https://tinyurl.com/tc42zewv).
• Footwear: Proper shoes are vital for alignment and comfort. We recommend getting a gait evaluation at a specialty shop like Runners Athletic Company on Bay Road. Pair them with moisture-wicking socks to stay blister-free.
• Fuel: Hydrate well and have a light snack (like a banana with peanut butter) about 90 minutes before we start.
Why Join?
Walking and jogging are incredible ways to:
• Strengthen muscles and bones.
• Improve heart health and manage blood pressure.
• Boost your mood and improve sleep quality.
• Enjoy the outdoors (and maybe spot a few local geese or groundhogs!).
Warm-Up & Cool-Down:
