Great Lakes Cancer Foundation 5K
On July 25, 2026 in Traverse City, Michigan, the Great Lakes Cancer Foundation hosts a community running event that includes a 5K and a kids 1 mile fun run. The event raises awareness and funds to support the foundation’s mission to remove financial barriers for at-risk individuals seeking cancer screenings and diagnostic services.
Distances offered:

The kid-focused 1 mile is an untimed, free event with optional race bibs. It follows a safe out-and-back route on the sidewalk from Eastern Elementary down Eastern Avenue and returns to the school finish.
The 5K course starts and ends at Eastern Elementary School. The course is described as flat and passes an aid station around mile one. The route runs along the shore of East Bay before looping back to the school, where supporting partners and volunteers are present at the finish.
