About this race
The Irish Jig 5K is a mid-March road race in East Grand Rapids, Michigan, starting at 2211 Lake Dr SE. This straightforward 5K suits fast local runners, walkers, and those using it as their first race after winter. For over 40 years, it has signaled the beginning of Michigan's racing season.
Corewell Health hosts the race, supporting colorectal cancer awareness. Proceeds benefit cancer research and care through Corewell Health and Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. The event frames the run as a rally for fighters and a public pushback against cancer. Past results show a competitive field, with a winner at 15:39 and other finishers under 22 minutes, while the average VDOT finish time is just under 20 minutes.
