We want to hear about your FIRST race.

Maybe it was a 5K you nervously signed up for on a whim. Maybe you forgot your gear, started too fast, or cried crossing the finish line. Maybe you walked part of it, hit a PR, or discovered a love for running you never expected.

Every runner has a first race story, and those moments often become the ones we remember forever.

Because your first race isn’t really about pace or performance, it’s about courage. It’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, showing up at the starting line, and believing in yourself enough to try.

At the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon, we love seeing first-time runners accomplish goals they once thought were impossible. Those finish line moments never get old.

So tell us:
- What was your first race?
- What do you remember most?
- Would you do anything differently now?

We can’t wait to read your stories.

Your warm-up matters more than you think.

It can be tempting to jump straight into your run, especially on busy days, but taking a few extra minutes to properly warm up can completely change how your workout feels.

A good warm-up helps prepare your muscles, increase blood flow, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of injury. It also helps your body transition more smoothly into harder efforts, making those first few miles feel less stiff and sluggish.

Try adding:
- Easy jogging
- Dynamic stretches
- Leg swings
- Walking lunges
- Strides before speed workouts

Think of your warm-up as setting the tone for your entire run.

Race day included.

Do you have a favorite pre-run warm-up routine?

Happy Global Running Day from the Zeigler Kalamazoo Marathon team!

Today, we celebrate every runner, walker, volunteer, spectator, and supporter who makes the running community so special.

Running is about more than miles and medals. It’s about showing up for yourself on the hard days, finding confidence you didn’t know you had, building friendships through shared goals, and discovering just how strong you truly are.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, preparing for a marathon, returning from injury, or simply moving your body because it makes you feel good, you are part of this global community.

And the best part? Every starting line welcomes a different story.

Every mile matters. Every runner belongs.

Tell us how you’re celebrating Global Running Day today!
