Get ready to kick off the new year in style at the Hair of the Dog event on Thursday, January 1, 2026, in the charming town of Saugatuck, Allegan! This exciting fun run and walk is not only a fantastic way to spend time with friends but also a wonderful opportunity to support the Saugatuck Education Association (SEA) by raising funds for scholarships benefiting local kids from preschool through 12th grade.

Participants can look forward to a memorable experience, beginning at Spectators Sports Bar & Grill, where the run/walk starts and finishes. Each participant will receive a commemorative pint glass, and after crossing the finish line, enjoy a free beer or root beer along with a delicious bowl of chili—choose from red, white chicken, or vegetarian options! With registration beginning at 11:00 AM on race day, be sure to join in the fun and warmth of the fire pit, making this event the perfect way to embrace the spirit of community and celebration as we welcome 2026!
