River Market for registration and start
The 42nd annual TERRY FOX RUN is back in person! For the past 2 years, because of Covid, we have not been able to gather in person for the Run. This year it feels safe to hold an outdoor event again. We will meet at River Market like in the past. One loop of the route is only 3 km, from the Market to the west end of the boardwalk and back. It is a level, beautiful course along the river. Construction to the east of the Fraser River Discovery Centre precludes us using that part of the quay and Pier Park this year. Participants can walk, run, or wheel any portion of the route, including more than once! As always, there is no registration fee. People are encouraged to register for the Run online at terryfox.org .In person registration will be available at River Market starting at 9 am. The Run starts at 10 am. Donations are encouraged but not necessary. Local businesses and individuals have donated food, drinks and items for a prize draw, all to make the event even more fun for all participants.
To date the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $850 million dollars for cancer research. The tagline for this year's Run is "Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter." Terry’s legacy exists because of generous people supporting Terry's dream. Terry, was many many things - dedicated, caring, and compassionate. Terry wanted to be an example of perseverance and courage. Terry’s no-quit attitude inspires us to
dream more, do more, and be more. His dream, his efforts and his Foundation give cancer patients a reason to hope for a healthy future.
