Great Lakes Cancer Foundation 5K

The event in Traverse City, Michigan includes a community 5K race and a separate kids 1 mile untimed fun run. Both events start and finish at Eastern Elementary School on Eastern Avenue. The kids run is free and untimed and offers optional race bibs for participants.

The kids course is an out-and-back along the sidewalk on Eastern Avenue, beginning at the elementary school. The short, sidewalk route is designed so children run to a turn and return to the school finish.

The 5K is described as a flat course that begins and ends at Eastern Elementary School. The route runs past the shore of East Bay and includes an aid station around mile one before looping back to the school. The finish area involves partners and volunteers who support participants at the finish.

The organizing foundation’s mission is to remove financial barriers for at-risk individuals seeking cancer screenings and diagnostic services, with the goal of expanding access to early detection and related care.
