Event Details
The Bronson Children's Hospital Run & Walk is scheduled for a Sunday in September 2026. The event offers two distances: a 5K run/walk, which is a timed race, and a 1 Mile run/walk, which is not timed. The event begins at a parking lot at the corner of Lovell and Jasper streets in downtown Kalamazoo. Activities start earlier in the morning, with the main run/walk starting later.
Course and Fundraising
The route is described as flat and takes participants on a tour through downtown Kalamazoo. A note for the 2026 event indicates that the 5K course will not be certified due to construction but will still be timed. The event raises funds for the Bronson Health Foundation's Children's Hospital Fund. This fund supports pediatric programs and services such as child life services, art and music therapy, and NICU support. The fundraising goal for 2026 is $200,000.
Participation and Registration
Both event distances have a registration fee of $35. Registration opens on a specific date in May 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
