Kicking PancreAS™ 5K - Vancouver 2026

Kicking PancreAS 5K - Vancouver is an evening 5K run/walk held at the Second Beach Swimming Pool on Stanley Park Drive in Vancouver. It is designed for walkers and runners of all abilities, with check-in before the start and a relaxed atmosphere, not a competition solely for fast athletes. The event generates funds for pancreatic cancer awareness, patient support, healthcare education, and research within Canada. The route begins and ends in Stanley Park, focusing the day around a well-known Vancouver waterfront meeting place. Participants are encouraged to wear purple, add glow-in-the-dark items, and wear costumes, contributing to the 5K's community fundraiser character over a standard road race. Finisher medals, bibs, and event merchandise are provided. Race kits can be collected beforehand at the Robson Street Running Room or at Stanley Park prior to the race; onsite registration is not available. A recent running of the event attracted 400 participants and raised over $96,000, with all proceeds remaining in Canada.
