50 STATE CHALLENGE
Ready for a new challenge? Join us in Michigan and you may be the first from your state who registers to run.
Welcome to Michigan!
The first runners who register for the marathon and half-marathon in
each state will receive a discount and some swag. Marathoners will receive free entry to the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon, and half marathoners will receive 50% off their registration (refunded after completing registration and being confirmed as the first registrant).
