Paint the Path Purple for Pancreatic Cancer 5k 2026 — Little Rock, AR

The 501 Sole Runners proudly present the inaugural Paint the Path Purple for Pancreatic Cancer 5K, a community event dedicated to raising awareness about pancreatic cancer and honoring the individuals and families impacted by this disease across Arkansas. Pancreatic cancer continues to affect far too many Arkansans, often with limited early detection options and significant financial and emotional burdens on families. This race was created to bring the community together to support awareness, advocacy, and hope while encouraging healthier lifestyles through movement and wellness. Participants of all fitness levels are invited to walk, run, and remember alongside survivors, caregivers, and loved ones. A special Memorial Mile will honor those who have battled pancreatic cancer and those we have lost. Proceeds from the Paint the Path Purple 5K will assist families navigating pancreatic cancer treatment, easing barriers and offering support during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Join us as we paint the path purple and take steps toward awareness, support, and hope for Arkansas families.
