The 2026 Summer Beyond Marathon and Half Marathon Training program will feature new and familiar routes throughout the Kalamazoo area.

For each week we have posted links to Strava and to Garmin Connect to provide a turn-by-turn option, segments, an elevation graph plus social media options. The Garmin Connect site should allow you to download turn by turn directions to a Garmin device if desired.
