  Kicking PancreAS™ – Newfoundland

  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 Newfoundland, we’re building on an incredible 2025, when we had over 140 participants and achieved a 25% increase in donations, raising over $10,000.00!

  This year, we’re aiming even higher and are counting on participants to invite friends, family, and colleagues to join the movement. Together, we can make 2026 our most successful year yet with a goal of 180 participants and $12,000.00 raised!

  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.
