Overview
There’s something in the air during the Battle Creek Half Marathon & 5K—and it’s probably a hot air balloon. Hosted by Cereal City Athletics—named for Kellogg’s, which is headquartered in Battle Creek— you’ll feel like you’re flying during Battle Creek’s only half marathon, which features a mostly flat and highly scenic course. Runners start and end this looped course at Territorial Brewing Company, which also hosts an optional “Breakfast and Brews” event after the race.

Beginning at the brewing facility for Territorial Brewing Company, runners will make their way to the Field of Flight where they will run the runways while watching balloons launch (weather permitting) and get an up close view of the Field of Flight attractions. Runners will exit the grounds and run the streets and boulevards of Battle Creek before finishing back right where they started. The time limit for completing the half marathon course is 3 and 1/2 hours, or 16 min/mile average pace.
