Thank you for joining us this year, we hope to see you in 2026!

Warm up for running season by participating in the 41st Annual Irish Jig 5K, one of Michigan’s premier 5K (3.1 mile) road races! 

Since 1983, runners and walkers have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and the unofficial start to the spring race season through the Irish Jig. Some wear greens and oranges to commemorate the day, while others dress to beat the time on their watches. What is the same for everyone is that our USA Track & Field Certified Course through East Grand Rapids provides opportunities for everyone to have fun.

Our field size is limited to 4,500 participants. Register before it sells out. Lock your shirt in by registering by February 17; participants who register after this date are not guaranteed to receive a shirt as the remaining shirts are first come, first serve based on when people register. 

Whether you’re running, walking, volunteering, or cheering, we look forward to seeing you on race day!
