Half of us need all of us. Join the movement.
On March 14, cancer won’t know what hit it. Be more than a runner—be a champion for hope.
Why it matters
This is more than a race—it’s a rally against cancer.
For over 40 years, the Irish Jig has marked the start of Michigan’s racing season. In 2026, it becomes a stand against a brutal truth: 1 in 2 people will face cancer in their lifetime. Every stride fuels cancer research and care through Corewell Health and Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.
Because half of us need all of us—and that includes you.
