Now in its 32nd year, the Irish Jig has grown to become one of Michigan’s premier 5K (3.1 mile) races. The USA Track & Field certified course is mostly flat with a few gentle hills. The start of the race is a short walk from the East Grand Rapids High School gym. Top age group winners receive prizes, and top overall finishers receive cash awards.
Spectrum Health is proud to provide this event as part of its mission to improve the health of the communities we serve, and to promote awareness of colorectal cancer. We look forward to seeing you on race day!

Spectrum Health is proud to support colorectal cancer research, education and patient care through the Spectrum Health Irish Jig on Saturday, March 21, 2015.
Among cancers that affect men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is preventable. Thanks to increased awareness of the risks and symptoms, advances in screening tests, and evolving treatment options, the number of people diagnosed and dying from colorectal cancer continues to decline. For more information, visit spectrumhealth.org/colon-rectal-cancer.
If you would like to donate to the Spectrum Health Ferguson Digestive Disease Endowment Fund for colorectal cancer research, education and patient care, please call the Spectrum Health Foundation at 616.391.2000 or visit give.spectrumhealth.org/coloncancer. You can text CARE to 41010 to donate $10 or HEALTH to 41010 to donate $5 to colorectal cancer research.
