    Option 2: Email us a spreadsheet (like this one) with your school address and student information to [email protected]. Then, make a donation here equal to $14 per student and $28 per adult (discounted because shipping in bulk saves us some money).

    For more than 40 years, the Irish Jig has marked the start of Michigan’s racing season. But 2026 isn’t just another starting line. It’s a turning point. On March 14, we’re not running for tradition. We’re running against a brutal truth: 1 in 2 people will face cancer in their lifetime. That’s not a statistic we’re willing to accept. This year, the Irish Jig becomes more than a race. It’s a stand. A statement. A surge of runners moving as one. Every stride fuels cancer research and care through Corewell Health and Helen DeVos Children’s 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.

    New for 2026 is the Kids Gold Ribbon Run and Jig Virtual participation option. The Kids Gold Ribbon Run will take place at 9:30a on the East Grand Rapids Track, allowing kids to use their feet to raise support for pediatric cancer programs. The Kids Gold Ribbon Run is free to register, with an optional $25 commemorative shirt available. The kids will be broken into age groups and complete one lap on the track.

    The Jig Virtual is an opportunity to participate in the movement from anywhere that works for you the week of March 9. Your shirt will be mailed out to you on race weekend. Registration for the Jig Virtual closes on March 7th.

    Apply to be an Irish Jig Ambassador!

    Meals on Wheels Western Michigan's 5th Annual March for Meals Community Walk & 5k is a family-friendly event for people of all ages and abilities to come together and support the health and independence of older adults in Western Michigan. The walk is a 2-mile loop and the 5K run is on that same loop, just extending a bit farther into the park.

    New this year: the price of the walk is the same as the run, and includes a shirt and race medal. You may opt out of a race shirt for a $10 discount.

    Click here for a map of the walk route, and click here for a map of the 5k route.

    Join Us for the 7th, Nathan Syrek Memorial 5K Trail Run & 1 Mile Walk where Big Hearts Wear Pink!

    If you have a big heart and some trail shoes then this inclusive non-chipped trail 5K (or 1 mile walk) is for you. All ages and abilities will enjoy the run or stroll through through the beautiful apple orchards of Robinette’s (or cheer on others at the finish line). Avid runners, lace up and join us too, we will award the top female and male finishers of the 5k!).

    The Nathan Syrek Memorial 5K honors the legacy of Nathan Syrek, who passed into heaven at the age of 19 after a courageous battle with cancer. This annual charity event celebrates Nathan’s spirit of kindness and faith while raising funds to support a local family facing significant challenges. We are honored to walk alongside and support the Seewald family and to celebrate the beautiful life of Zoe.

    Zoe tragically passed away in a car accident on August 12, 2025. She is lovingly remembered by her parents, Adam and Jamie, and her beloved sister and best friend, Bella. Zoe was a tough, strong-willed “wild child” who stood up for others and followed her own unwavering moral compass. Her faith was deeply important to her—she loved and trusted Jesus and proudly wore her pink WWJD bracelet every day. Zoe also had a deep love for the outdoors, making a 5K held in her honor a fitting tribute to her adventurous spirit and the bold life she lived.

    Note: The 5K route winds through the orchard with varied terrain that may be soft or muddy—after all, it’s spring in Michigan! For those with strollers or wagons, we recommend the 1-mile walk, which follows a firmer, established path for a smoother experience.

    Bring the whole family! Enjoy kids’ activities, explore an array of exciting raffle items. Food also available. All proceeds benefit the Seewald family.

    We hope your big heart will join us in your favorite shade of pink to celebrate Zoe & honor the sprit of Nathan.

    The Amway River Bank Run, presented by Fifth Third Bank with Corewell Health as the Official Health Partner, is held every year in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan on the second Saturday of May.

    This year, on May 9, 2026, we will be celebrating 49 years and are looking forward to filling the streets of Grand Rapids with the largest 25K road race in the country, which includes the USA 25 km Open Championships, 25K Handcycle, 25K Wheelchair, 10K Run, 5K Run and 5K Community Walk.

    In addition to our in-person events, we offer virtual events that give individuals an opportunity to participate by completing the distance of their choice (25K, 10K, 5K, or 5K walk) on the course of their choice and any day that works between May 1 and May 31. Each virtual event offers extended finishing times (unlike the in-person course cutoffs) and having this flexibility makes the Virtual Race a great option for many runners and walkers. Plus, you still receive all the commemorative Amway River Bank Run Race Swag, which includes high-quality race shirts, premium medals and a virtual race bib.

    In 1978, just over 1,000 runners took to the streets on the second Saturday of May for the first annual Old Kent River Bank Run. In 2001, Old Kent Bank merged with Fifth Third Bank, and the event was renamed to showcase its new owner. With the transition of race ownership in 2018 to Riverbank Events and Media , a group of leading community partners came together, including Amway, Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health, to ensure the race would continue its longstanding tradition of filling the streets of Grand Rapids with runners and walkers, on the second Saturday of May, for years to come. In 2019, with Amway as the title sponsor, the race became known as the Amway River Bank Run, presented by Fifth Third Bank and Corewell Health as the Official Health Partner.

    The Amway River Bank Run is proud to be celebrating 49 years in 2026 and we hope to see you at the Start Line!

    We’re hosting our inaugural Revive & Thrive's Miles for Meals 5K Walk/Run/Roll to bring our community together around health, connection, and joy. It’s a chance for neighbors, families, and friends to walk, roll, or run side by side, celebrating wellness and togetherness. Any funds raised will help us continue our meal program that provides fresh, medically supportive meals to families facing cancer, diabetes, or heart conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just want to cheer others on, this event is about showing up for each other. Families, kids, seniors — all are welcome. Medals will be provided for all registrants. Sign up by April 12 to guarantee a T‑shirt.

    This is an untimed race. All ages and abilities are welcome to join the fun!
