Let’s dash through the trails at Imerman Park along with partners Bayne’s Apple Valley, Jolt Credit Union and Team One Credit Union! The holidays are an especially difficult time for those suffering from depression. So, Dashing will benefit the Barb Smith Suicide Resource & Response Network with proceeds being donated to assist in creating social change in mental health and overall wellness with the goal of decreasing suicides, increasing help seeking behavior and caring for those impacted by suicide.
This will be a USATF sanctioned event that will be professionally managed and timed with online results. There will be plenty of good cheer on the trail with holiday music and a possible visit from the "Big Man" himself. Ho, ho, ho! Custom finisher medals and t-shirts* will be provided to all participants with Top 3 overall male and female runners receiving awards.
*T-shirts are guaranteed ONLY to those who register before midnight Sunday, December 6th. Registration is limited to 350 participants! Don’t be left out "in the cold" for this year’s race return! Register early! Date: December 13, 2026

Course Description
Imerman Park is the setting for a beautiful 1.5 mile loop that runners and walkers will complete twice. A firmly packed trail (no promises on snow!) winds through the woods and along the Tittabawassee River, making for a scenic outing. The course is mostly flat with a few small inclines. The trail will be ungroomed and will NOT be plowed if snow arrives. Please be prepared for any conditions!
This is a fun, lighthearted event that is fun for the whole family! Saginaw County Parks & Recreation does an outstanding job maintaining this park and Dig Deep is more than happy to showcase their efforts.
Packet Pickup and Late Registration Both will take place Sunday, December 13 from 9AM to 11AM at Bayne’s Apple Valley - 5395 Midland Rd, Freeland, MI 48623
Please note that Bayne’s is approximately 3 miles from Imerman Memorial Park so make time to pick up and drive over to the park for the race.
While at Bayne’s Apple Valley, please be sure to check out their selection of caramel apples, apple pies and other fresh baked goodies for your holiday gift-giving!

Refund and Transfer Policy
We completely understand that plans change and athletes will sometimes be unable to compete in an event they've signed up for. We also understand that registering for one of our events is a financial investment in that race. We accept your registration funds with the full intention of putting on the promised event with the listed amenities and we use your registration funds to pay for the necessary items and services needed to host the event. With that in mind, refunds will not be provided for this event unless the event is cancelled for reasons within our control. The following are examples (but not limited to) of reasons an event might be canceled that are NOT within our control: Dangerous weather; natural disasters; pandemics; acts of terrorism; local emergencies; government mandates; and any situation creating a threat to safety of participants, volunteers, staff or bystanders.
Should a registrant have an injury or other medical issue keeping them from competing in an event they've registered for, we would be happy to transfer their registration to a similar Dig Deep-owned event up to and including the same event the following season. A doctor's slip may be required as proof of injury or ailment. Failure to provide proof if requested will result in non-transfer of the event.
Transferring registrations to other participants is NOT allowed*.
*Should event sell out, Organizers MAY - at their discretion - implement a cancellation process. Details of such would be communicated to all participants at time of implementation.
