Summer Safari Half Marathon and Full Marathon Training Program 2017 (Draft)

Summer Safari Half Marathon and Full Marathon Training Program

For information and to register, please visit Summer Safari Registration

Summer Safari is presented by Gazelle Sports and Kalamazoo Area Runners and sponsored by Bronson. The 2017 Safari Training Program has been designed for runners of all experience levels- whether you are looking to complete your first half or full marathon or looking to set a personal record!

Our training schedules are developed by experts at the Lydiard Foundation, a nationally recognized training program that is used worldwide by recreational runners and elite runners alike. Schedules are individualized to ensure you successfully cross that finish line injury free! Program guidance and support are provided through the Summer Safari Program. We do ask that runners be able to comfortably run four miles prior to the start of the program.
