Medavie Blue Nose Marathon

Kicking PancreAS™ – Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers—but together, we can make a difference.

About the Event

Kicking PancreAS 2026 is a fun, inclusive 5K for all levels and abilities—whether you choose to walk or run, set a personal goal and take it at your own pace.

Returning to Nova Scotia, we’re building on an incredible 2025, where we saw 451 participants and over $46,000.00 in donations. This year, we’re aiming even higher! Our goals are:

1. 500 participants

2. $55,000.00 in fundraising!

We are counting on participants to invite friends, family, and colleagues to join the movement. Together, we can make 2026 our most impactful year yet, in Manitoba

Every step—and every dollar raised—supports pancreatic cancer awareness, patient support, healthcare education, and Canadian research, helping change outcomes for those impacted by this disease.
