As we gear up to commemorate 45 years of commitment to health and wellness, the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon is ready to keep the party going! From its humble beginnings in 1979, when John Daley-Borgess Development Director dreamed up the Run to promote health and prevent illness, to its evolution into the ultimate community celebration, this event has left a lasting impact on countless lives.

At its core, the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon is all about bringing our community together for some good old-fashioned fun while promoting health and wellness for all. Whether it’s through movement, community connection, or local economic impact, we’re here to create an experience that everyone can be a part of, no matter who you are or where you come from.

Get ready for a weekend of excitement, unique experiences, and plenty of high-fives with thousands of community members and visitors. And hey, if your organization wants to get in on the action as a sponsor, you’ll not only be joining the movement to drive a healthy community but also getting some awesome exposure to our diverse audience.

From heartwarming milestones like James Miller’s inspiring walk just six weeks after open-heart surgery to recent additions like the PNC Military Mile honoring our veterans, the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon has been a shining example of resilience, unity, and progress.

So let’s raise a toast to 45 years of movement and embark on another unforgettable journey toward health and wellness. Let’s make every step count and have a blast doing it!
