Run Through the Lights

Gazelle Sports and the Kalamazoo Area Runners are proud to host Run Through the Lights to benefit Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes. Join us for a festive fun run or walk through the holiday lights of downtown Kalamazoo! Run Through the Lights is an un-timed, non-competitive run/walk and everyone is invited. Streets will be closed.NEW THIS YEAR - PLEASE NOTE:

The race has a new start and end spot- in Bronson Park! We hope this will give people more space to mingle, and we will be able to visit Candy Cane Lane! 

All participants ARE REQUIRED to bring and wear lights and reflective gear this year! We love safe runners and walkers!

This fun event is growing and to ensure your safety, we will have staggered starts for runners, walkers and anyone with strollers. 

We love your pets too - but for this year's event,  we ask that you leave them at home to keep everyone safe on this busy downtown night of crowds and fun in the lights!

There will also be special contests with fabulous prizes to be won!

• Best Holiday Costume
• Most Family Members at the Event
• Participant who Traveled the Farthest
• Other interactive contests to participate in before the run!

Don’t miss the post-run events! Refreshments, snacks, and awesome door prizes!

In the spirit of giving, we also ask that you bring a non-perishable or canned food item(s), which will be donated to the Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes. Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is the largest food assistance provider in Kalamazoo County and fed over 126,000 individuals last year. Please bring food and/or monetary donations with you to the event to help feed hungry people in our community. Representatives from the charity organization will be there to collect donations. Last year we gathered 1,418 lbs. of food for Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes, and we look to collect more for 2014. Please make a difference for your neighbors in need and help us reach our goal!
