Distance Camp and Run Camp 2024

Run Kalamazoo is excited to again be hosting two training programs this year! Whether you choose to join our Distance Camp or Run Camp, our training programs and Saturday morning camps are designed to get you ready to cross the finish line in any event you have your eyes on for Spring 2024! Our personal favorite is the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon, on May 5, 2024! 
Distance Camp is a 20-week training program designed to prepare runners for a full or half marathon. Run Camp is a 13-week training program designed to prepare runners for a 5K, 10K or Half Marathon. Come one, come all! No matter where you are at in your movement journey, we will have a team for you! We have fantastic team leaders to support you each week on your training runs, staffed water stations on every training route, a SAG wagon who monitors participants out on the course, and refreshments for when you have finished! No runners get left behind - and we welcome beginning runners to come join us and see what we are all about!
