Organiser's Description
For more than 40 years, the Irish Jig has marked the start of Michigans racing season. But this year isnt just another starting line. Its a turning point. We are not running for tradition. Were running against a brutal truth: 1 in 2 people will face cancer in their lifetime. Thats not a statistic were willing to accept. This year, the Irish Jig becomes more than a race. Its a stand. A statement. A surge of runners moving as one. Every stride fuels cancer research and care through Corewell Health and Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital. Every step brings hope closer to home. This is not just a 5K. This is a rally for fighters, a reckoning with cancer, a reason to believe in something bigger. Join us. Bring your people. Fill the streets. Run. Walk. Cheer. Because we're taking the Jig WellBeyond anything it's been before.
