Kalamazoo Commuter Challenge


The Kalamazoo County Commuter Challenge is a two-week event that engages people in riding their bicycles for trips – to work, shop, dine, or simply to enjoy cycling – in and around Kalamazoo, Portage, Vicksburg, Richland, or...throughout Kalamazoo County. The event is open to everyone - as a team member or individually, employed, retired, a student, or just in it to have fun. Organizations, including workplaces, will compete against similar sized groups to climb leaderboards, win prizes, and work together to create more vibrant communities. Together we will activate our bikeways with people doing practical cycling while discovering more of Kalamazoo County.
