Project Purple's Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month Virtual Turkey Trot 2023
Before you start your Thanksgiving celebrations, hit the street virtually with Project Purple to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. This virtual turkey trot is a 5k run or 1-mile walk that you can perform from anywhere in the world - whether that means from your local neighborhood, your treadmill, or even your city/town Turkey Trot 5k!
We recommend running on a team with friends and family but you can fly solo as well.

Because Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month takes place during November, we need your help to drive awareness of our mission both virtually and at your local turkey trots. Your participation in this event would be a big help as we step towards a world without pancreatic cancer.
The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 12%. This is unacceptable to Project Purple and our community and we are committed to finding early detection and supporting those patients and families that are faced with this disease.
By participating in the 2023 turkey trot, you are allowing Project Purple to send care packages and financial assistance to those battling as well as advancing research efforts for early detection.
Project Purple's mission is a world without pancreatic cancer and thanks to your support we will change the outcome of a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and bring hope for the survival of this disease.
We encourage you to create a team and invite your friends and family to join you. "Each of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change."- Barbara Mikulski
Go Purple, Fundraise, & Earn Rewards!
If you choose to register and participate, you will receive a 2023 Turkey Trot shirt and custom bib, which you can proudly wear to spread awareness for our mission while participating and during the rest of pancreatic cancer awareness month. We strongly encourage wearing the shirts to your local turkey runs and/or posting photos of yourself with the shirt on social media. If you register by November 1st, you should receive your shirt in time for race day (pending possible shipping issues beyond our control). If you register after 11/1, you will receive your shirt after the event.
Fundraising Rewards
In addition to the shirts, we also have some awesome fundraising rewards and prizes to give out as a thank-you to those who fundraise.
The highest fundraising team will win a team set of high-performance New Balance book bags (Limit 20). And any individual who raises over $150 will be given a limited edition Turkey Trot trucker hat.
