Did you stop by the Amos' Anchors table at the Baby Steps 5K and pick up a Petoskey stone? Those stones and two of the ornaments in our giveaway baskets were generously donated by Graystone Creations MI . Thank you, Pat & Amy Gray!

We hope your stones serve as a quiet comfort and a way to remember that you are not alone in your grief. ⚓️💙

Thank you to everyone who took time to share about the Baby Steps 5K Kalamazoo 2026 with your friends, family, coworkers, and followers. This event has grown each year in no small part thanks to word of mouth but especially thanks to our media partners this year who helped shine a spotlight on this event and on Amos' Anchors.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the following organizations that helped folks find us so they could participate this year:

FOX 17 Morning Mix
Portage Neighbors & The Heart of Texas Corners & Van Buren and Sister Lakes Living magazines (thank you, Michele Stys!)

We appreciate your support and hope to see you again as a media partner next year!

You may recognize her face at the start line blowing the air horn, as one of the speakers during the memorial portion or if you volunterred at our race she was your point person.

Either way this is our lovely committee member, Lauren!

Be sure to show her all the love and birthday wishes as her birthday is today!

Thank you Lauren for all that you do to make Baby Steps 5k that much more amazing each year.

WOW! Wow, wow, wow. What a turn out this year. 💕 We held our biggest event yet, and you all showed up ready for a powerful and meaningful time together walking, running, and being in community together to remember our babies.

Fundraising totals will be announced as soon as all accounts are settled. It takes a few weeks for the invoice from the parks department to arrive and for the PayPal Charity Fund to release funds to our account so we can divide the proceeds between the race beneficiaries for this year, but we already know we’ve raised even more than last year. Your attendance, donations, and our sponsors contributions combined will make such a difference for Amos' Anchors, Star Legacy Foundation - West Michigan Chapter, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, and The TEARS Foundation.

Everything may be packed away and headed for storage tomorrow, but we are already buzzing with ideas for our 5th annual event next year. Watch your inboxes because we will be sending a post-race survey soon to collect any feedback you might have on what you loved and what you’d like to see next year. 💌

📷 We’d also love to see your photos of the race! Tag us! And we’ll be sure to share the race photos and video captured by our wonderful sponsors soon as well.

Thank you, everyone, for making this event as special as it is.

They lived.
They mattered.
They always will.

I mean, you’re welcome to come stand in line on the morning of the race to check in with registration and pick up your shirt and race numbered bib. Our volunteers will be caffeinated and ready to serve you!

OR you could swing by the Mattawan Biggby tonight between 5pm and 7pm and avoid the hassle and the long lines tomorrow morning. Just saying. 🩷

Each year, we work with some incredible community partners to be able to provide you a high-quality event.

🪧 Thank you to Printmill for creating beautiful printed marketing materials for us like our race banners, programs, race maps, and swag at a reduced rate. 

👕👚 Thank you to American Screen Printing for giving us a reduced rate on our fabulous race t-shirts! We can’t wait for everyone to see and wear the beautiful teal shirts this year!

💐 Thank you to VanderSalm's Flower Shop and Garden Center for always providing flowers for our post-race memorial to help recognize and honor the people walking to honor a baby they love and miss. 

We couldn’t put on an event this big without sponsors like you! 🩷

🎤 Shout out to our in-kind sponsors who generously donate their time, talent, and even presence on race day to help us bring a beautiful, quality event to the Kalamazoo County community. We couldn’t do this without you all!

Pictured: We are excited to have Jon from Wiser Productions, Inc. back again this year serving as our race DJ! Jon generously donated his time and talents last year, and we are thrilled to be seeing him again on Saturday. Without him, we wouldn’t have quality sound or music, which add so much to our event and the post-race Memorial especially. Thank you, Jon! 🩷🎶
