J's Run for Pancreatic Cancer

About the event

We are family and pet friendly 5K at Saylor Park, Coplay PA. Come and run or walk our 5K or cheer on your favorite participants on Saturday morning, May 1st, 2027 at 9 AM.  We are excited to offer an 8K option again!  Our event will feature a large basket raffle, chip timing, and t-shirts for the event.   We also welcome our virtual runners and walkers from across the country who have supported us the past few years!  

J’s Run is the annual signature event for the Pancreatic Cancer Hope Foundation- raising money for PC research and supporting those in the Lehigh Valley who are fighting the disease and their loved ones.  

Top male and female finishers will receive a medal.  Top finishers in our seven age groups will receive a prize.  

T-shirt and bib pick up  will be available for pick up the morning of the race starting at 7:30 AM.  Early pick will be announced closer to race day.

We look forward to having you join our enthusiastic community of supporters!
