Can’t make it to an in-person event? No problem! Project Purple’s Virtual Event Series for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid is the easiest way to get involved. We host several virtual events each year that you can run on your treadmill at home, in your neighborhood, or wherever you’d like! For 2026, this series includes:
- Purple Paddy’s 5k | St. Patrick’s Day Weekend (March 13-17)
- Independence Day Double Mile For Detection | 4th of July Weekend (July 3-5)
- Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month Turkey Trot | (Thanksgiving Weekend Nov. 26-29)
We’re currently recruiting for our Purple Paddy’s Virtual 5k! Click here to register.
More Info about Purple Paddy’s:
Purple Paddy’s 5k is 100% virtual, allowing you to walk, jog, or run your 5k from wherever you are (even your treadmill… or a field of clovers) – all while raising important awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid.
This will be Project Purple’s first of a 3-part virtual series for 2026.
We encourage you to set up a team and invite your friends and family to join you in making a difference. Participation can happen from anywhere. Share your fundraising pages and make an even larger impact.
You can stay in the loop with other members of our Project Purple community who are also participating by joining and posting in this Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/purplepaddy
