Purple Paddy's is back for 2025!

Run or walk virtually or use a local 5k to fundraise and spread awareness

On the weekend of St. Patrick's Day 2025 (March 14-17th), Purple Paddy will be back with a virtual 5k for a world without pancreatic cancer.

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.

You can stay in the loop with other members of our Project Purple family who are also participating by joining and posting in this Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/purplepaddy/

This will be Project Purple's first of a 3-part virtual series for 2025.

By making your miles matter you are supporting Project Purple in 2 ways. First, you bring hope to patients by supporting our patient financial aid program and sending care packages to those who are battling. Secondly, you are directly impacting and advancing research for early detection and a cure.

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.

Everyone who registers will receive a virtual bib and a Purple Paddy's T-shirt. Register by February 23* to receive your shirt in time for event weekend. (*Shirts only available within the continental U.S. Deadline stated is not a guarantee due to the possibility of shipping delays and constraints)

T-Shirt Info:

If you'd like to receive your shirt before the run/walk*, you must register by Sunday, February 23rd. Otherwise, you will receive your shirt after the event. Shirts are only available for shipping within the continental U.S.
