Buchanan, Michigan - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Reported by Devashishu Torpy 59.0 mi

A big thank you to our hosts at Fuller's Campground, Mark and Kirsty and their family. We have stayed here and known the family for many years.

Our first runner carries the torch out of the campground.

It is a hot and humid day.

These young men carried the torch in Portage.

Running into Kalamazoo.

On the way into Kalamazoo we meet some friendly citizens.

Mayor Anderson is waiting to greet us in Kalamazoo. The runner who ran the final leg is Gints from Latvia. The Mayor explains that there is a big Latvian population in this area.

The Mayor is a runner and we invite him to run a lap of Bronson Park.
