Every year, Canadians across the country run and raise funds for cancer research in honour of the legendary Canadian hero Terry Fox, whose cross-Canada run inspired the nation.
This year, the run will return to Fernie on Sunday, September 14 at the Fernie Aquatic Centre. Participants can run three different routes, with 1km, 5 km or 10 km options available.
“I am hopeful we can continue to increase awareness and renew excitement for this Canadian Iconic run,” said event organizer Jennifer Parker.
Registration is at 10:30 a.m. on run day. At 11 a.m., participants will begin their respective routes. Donations can be made that day and pledges can be made online at terryfox.org
