Kicking PancreAS™ 5K - Saskatchewan

The Kicking PancreAS™ 5K in Saskatoon takes place in Rotary Park, starting at 7:30 PM CST with check-in one hour prior. It welcomes runners and walkers of all levels, including those aiming for their first 5K, families, teams, youth, and individuals preferring a relaxed pace. The course remains open for 90 minutes, positioning the event as a community night run/walk rather than a competition solely for speed. As Saskatoon’s inaugural Kicking PancreAS™ event, it embraces a night theme: participants are encouraged to wear purple, glow-in-the-dark items, and costumes. All finishers get a medal, bib, and event merchandise. The event supports Craigs Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society, raising funds for pancreatic cancer awareness, patient support, healthcare education, and Canadian research, with all donations remaining in Canada. The fundraising target is CA$10,000, reflecting the critical need, as only 1 in 10 Canadians survive five years post-diagnosis.
