Grand Rapids Griffins

Grand Rapids is alive with team sporting events all year long. In winter, hockey is the rage headlined by the Grand Rapids Griffins. In warmer seasons, West Michigan Whitecaps, an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers baseball team, creates a lively environment for families including mascots and wonderful food. And, every May, one of the top 25K sports events, Fifth Third River Bank Run, hosts thousands of runners from around the world.
