Join us for the 6th annual Paddle for PanCan! This is a kayak/paddleboard 5K that benefits the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. The race will be at the Suck Creek Boat Launch and go upriver towards Williams Island on September 13, 2025, from 10am to 12pm (EST). The race will be an out and back so 1.5 miles up river and then back down to finish at the starting line. We always have lunch at River Drifters after if you'd like to join!

Registration is $40 per entry. The full $40 will be going towards the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Sign up by 8/20/25 at 12:00 pm to receive a race t-shirt the day of the event and there will also be raffle prizes available for anyone that signs up. If you sign up after there is still a possibility of getting a tshirt if there are enough. Thanks to our sponsors

Also if you would like to participate but don't have your own equipment, We can see if one of our partners can help accommodate you with equipment for race day.

This year we will have team fundraising! The top 3 teams will have their team names on the back of the shirt!

Over the past 5 years we have raised over $36k for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network with the Paddle for PanCAN 5k.

Pancreatic cancer takes 90 percent of its victims within five years and kills more people than breast cancer in the United States. The disease is the third leading cause of cancer-related death, and it is projected to become the second around 2020. More than 57,600 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year. That’s more than 158 mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, colleagues, or friends who will hear the dreaded news every single day.

Pancreatic Cancer has affected many loved ones near and far from our hearts and it is time to put a stop to this horrible disease. If you would like to make an extra donation, please visit
