More Info about Our Turkey Trot:
You can join this event from anywhere: from the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam… even your treadmill!
This is a 100% virtual event that will take place over Thanksgiving Weekend (Nov. 26-29). You can do it all at once or choose to break it up over multiple days.
This will be Project Purple’s third of a 3-part virtual series for 2026.
Before you start your Thanksgiving celebrations, hit the street virtually with Project Purple to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid. 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.
You can stay in the loop with other members of our Project Purple community who are also participating by joining and posting in this Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pcawarenessturkeytrot
Distance: 5K (3.1 miles)
Date: Nov. 26-29
