About the race
Western Michigan University Homecoming 5K is a campus-running event held in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during WMU’s Homecoming festivities. The 5-kilometer course winds through the Western Michigan University campus, starting and finishing just in front of the Gathering Tree statue atop the W. Michigan Ave hill, offering a fast downhill start and finish.
Runners encounter uphill sections early as the route heads toward Arcadia Flats and the student center, pass Miller Auditorium and Lawson Ice Arena, and then sail through central campus for the final mile. The race is presented by the College of Health and Human Services and draws students, alumni, and campus supporters for a festive athletic experience.
