Traverse City Track Club’s Good Fight 5K Remembrance Run returns to Timber Ridge!

Traverse City Track Club’s long standing cancer-related fundraiser running/walking event, the Good Fight 5K Remembrance Run, has converted to a virtual event.

This year’s event will return to an in-person gathering, calling on participants of all ages and abilities to take on the “good fight” along-side others who have been impacted in some way by cancer – whether a survivor, in the middle of the challenges brought on by a cancer diagnosis, or in remembrance of a loved one.

The in-person experience of walking or running a 5K or mile in the Pere Marquette State Forest bordering Timber Ridge RV Resort ion Traverse City will take place on Sunday October 3rd, 2021.

Since 1994, participant entry fees and the various partner and sponsor relationships and activities have enabled the Traverse City Track Club to donate on their behalf over $250,000 to the Munson Healthcare Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Fund.

The Munson Healthcare Foundation's Women’s Cancer Fund provides direct financial support for expenses not covered by insurance for those undergoing cancer treatments. Examples of support include gas cards, funds to pay utility bills, childcare, and rent for those fighting cancer.

The entry fee includes a finisher souvenir, bib, and the commemorative runner giveaway/swag.

The Good Fight 5K event will open for registration August 9th at $35 through October 2.

This event is presented in partnership with Hagerty of Traverse City, which has been a long-time partner in the event.

While a significant portion event profit is annually donated by TCTC to the Munson Healthcare Foundation's Women’s Cancer Fund, participants can help raise additional funds by choosing to add a gift amount to their entry fee during the registration process.

All registrants will receive a custom bammie (multi-use head-wear).
