The Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon is May 4th!

Sunday, May 4th, the 2025 Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon will take place. Runners will participate in various events throughout the morning and into the afternoon. This annual event is an opportunity for the community to join together for healthy, outdoor activities. It also results in road closures and can impact traffic patterns for commuters.

What can riders expect this year?

Two routes will be detoured on Sunday, May 4th, during the marathon. Routes 4 – Oakland and 13 – S. Burdick will be rerouted both outbound and inbound. Posters with details are being posted on buses and at stops. Download the Metro Zeigler Marathon Detour Poster PDF here.

Temporary stops will be set up along detoured routes. For anyone needing access to Bronson hospital, a temporary stop at Walnut St & John St will be available on the 13 – S Burdick route that day.

It is recommended that all riders expect delays, especially around the downtown stops. Metro will do our best to keep routes running on time while ensuring the safety of everyone else on the road. Riders can utilize myStop Mobile or Track My Bus to see where their bus is in real-time and plan accordingly.
