Things are looking a little different this year’s 46th for the Kalamazoo Klassic! Needless to say, it’s Orange Cone Season in Michigan and our beloved community tradition is one of many who are effected. We ask for your patience, understanding and grace this year as we manage these details. Below is a map of the planned route for 2024. We’re excited to partner with the Vine Neighborhood and thank them for welcoming us in our 46th year of the Kalamazoo Klassic! Please reach out if you have any questions.
