Kalamazoo Marathon is Coming Up

Michigan's most memorable marathon is happening Sunday, May 3, 2015.

It's time to run this town!

A full weekend of fun begins Friday, May 1 at 6 p.m. with the Meijer Kids Fun Run, a 1-mile non-competitive event is held at the Borgess Health & Fitness Center, 3025 Gull Road, Kalamazoo.

At 6:05 a.m. the Motivational Mile kicks off. This is a celebration of life for individuals who have overcome or who are working to overcome health challenges steps off.

Both events are free but do require advance registration at BorgessRun.com.

Sunday is the big day for all the other races, including the Priority Health 5K Walk (for people who want to recommit to personal health), 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Kalamazoo Marathon.

Come for the run and stay for the fun as Kalamazoo's Country 102.5 will be at the finish line with barbecue, beer, and bands!

Look for us on the course at Mile 9 (and 11 on the way back) in the Western Michigan University Business Technology and Research Park.

Cheer for me, Bobby Guy, anywhere on the 26.2 mile course as I'll be running again this year.
