About the J's Run for Pancreatic Cancer
The race is held at Saylor Park and raises money for pancreatic cancer research, with proceeds also supporting patients and families in the area who are dealing with the disease. There are a couple of distance options, so runners can choose what suits them, and virtual participants are welcome too. The event includes chip timing and a basket raffle alongside the racing.
Packet pickup happens race morning before the start, so there is no need to plan around a separate evening. The park setting keeps parking and logistics straightforward, and the atmosphere draws a mix of supporters, families, and their dogs.
