Age and on-course policies vary by event. Examples from the event: full marathon participants must be 16 years or older; the relay allows participants 10 years and older; the half marathon requires participants to be 14 years or older; some shorter events require younger children to be accompanied by an adult. Several events prohibit dogs and limit stroller access; the 5K permits strollers and walkers to start after the runners. The marathon and half marathon have rolling course closures based on published pace cutoffs, and participants who fall behind these paces may be asked to move to sidewalks.
Virtual participants can complete their distance between April 1 and April 25 and receive mailed race items including a bib, participant wearable, and finisher medal; mailing timelines depend on registration date. Packet pick-up and an expo take place at Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo in the days surrounding the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
