Our Story

The KONA Running Company brand was born in 2012 with a simple yet ambitious vision: to craft unique, themed running events that inspire joy and bring families together through the sport of running. Over the years, we’ve faced challenges head-on and continued to grow, becoming the leader in delivering unforgettable “Fun Run” experiences. Fast forward to today, and we’re proud to continue this tradition with events that celebrate the running spirit across the great state of Michigan.
