The Kicking PancreAS™ 5K - Quebec is a 5K run or walk taking place in Montreal's Parc Angrignon during September, starting in the late afternoon. Check-in begins an hour before the race, and the course remains open for 90 minutes, accommodating runners, walkers, and those setting their own pace. This event benefits Craigs Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society, with participants encouraged to fundraise alongside registration.
The Montreal event welcomes all levels and abilities, offering individual, team, family, and youth registration. Participants receive a bib, a finisher medal, and event merchandise. Organizers suggest wearing purple attire, glow-in-the-dark accessories, and costumes. Funds raised remain in Canada, supporting pancreatic cancer awareness, healthcare education, patient support, and research. A recent edition saw 138 participants and raised over $34,000; the goal for the next event is 170 participants and $44,000. Registration is limited, race kits are collected at the event, and no on-site registration is available.
