Get ready to experience the vibrant heart of Grand Rapids with the myTEAM TRIUMPH West MI - Bridge Run, returning on Sunday, September 20, 2026. This celebrated event, also known as the LMCU Bridge Run, invites runners and walkers alike to tackle either the challenging 10-Mile or invigorating 5K distances. Starting and finishing on Front Street, just west of the iconic 6th Street Bridge, the course promises a spectacular journey, winding over the city's historic bridges, tracing the picturesque Grand River, and venturing through lush city parks, with the 10-Mile route extending into the scenic Riverside Park.

The myTEAM TRIUMPH West MI - Bridge Run stands out for its inclusive and inspiring atmosphere, as it champions the myTEAM TRIUMPH mission where "Angels" push "Captains" (athletes with disabilities) through the course, fostering an incredible sense of teamwork and shared accomplishment. Established in 2002, this race has a strong reputation, having been recognized among Michigan's top road races. Runners can anticipate excellent support throughout their journey, with aid stations offering Gatorade, water, and GU energy packets on the 10-Mile course, alongside spirit stations and live bands to keep motivation high.

Participants will not only enjoy a "great race day experience" but also receive an awesome finisher's medal and commemorative shirt for their efforts. With typical race day conditions seeing comfortable highs around 73°F and lows around 51°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, it sets the stage for ideal running weather. Whether you're aiming for a personal best with the help of 10-Mile pacers or soaking in the scenic beauty, the myTEAM TRIUMPH West MI - Bridge Run offers an unforgettable urban adventure while supporting local causes.
