GRAND RAPIDS Mich., Dec. 14, 2020 – Spectrum Health announces today the Spectrum Health Irish Jig 5K race will return in 2022.

The health and safety of our community are of paramount importance at Spectrum Health. Given ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be holding the race in 2021.

Spectrum Health enjoys hosting this great race every year as much as people enjoy participating in it. As one of the largest 5K races in West Michigan, the event annually draws more than 6,000 participants, volunteers and team members to East Grand Rapids High School and the City of East Grand Rapids.

The 2022 date is still being determined and will be communicated later in 2021.

We look forward to racing with you again in 2022!
