As the name suggests, the marathon begins in downtown Kalamazoo, MI on Sunday, April 23.

Sunday’s events include a Half-Marathon, 10k Run, and 5k Walk & Run.

There are also events on Thursday April 20 and Saturday April 22. Thursday features the PNC Kids’ 1K Packet Pick-Up at the Gazelle Sports in downtown Kalamazoo.

Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon Finally Returns

The big story of this year’s event is the return of the full marathon. For the last few years some events have been held virtually. The marathon is finally returning after most other events started back up in 2022. If your serious about running the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon is an even more important race. The marathon is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, giving racers an opportunity to compete in next year’s event.
