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).
