Waterloo Terry Fox Run

Waterloo Terry Fox Run Waterloo Park - Sunday, September 20, 2026. And it is for this reason that The Terry Fox Run is a fundraiser.

Run, walk, cycle, wheelchair, family-friendly, and non-competitive fundraiser.
Register now https://run.terryfox.ca/waterloo The iconic image of Terry running along long and lonely roads during the 143 days of his Marathon of Hope does not convey the full picture of that historic effort. If the photographer were to widen his lens, there would appear the tens, hundreds, even thousands of

Canadians lining those very roads cheering Terry on and taking inspiration from his example. Canadians have adopted Terry’s mission of finding a cure for all cancers with an enthusiasm and passion that has done him proud. In keeping with the approach of its founder, The Terry Fox Run (1981 - ) is an innovative and volunteer-led event, all-inclusive, non-competitive, with no corporate sponsorship, incentives or fundraising minimums. It has become a fall tradition in Canada to gather your friends and family, lace on your shoes, bring our pledge sheets and attend your favourite Terry Fox Run site, where you can create your own memories of being a part of Terry's Marathon of Hope. Participants are not charged an entry fee nor are there minimum pledge amounts. Instead, Terry Foxer's are asked to contribute what they can, keeping in mind that Terry was all about the effort, about taking himself to the limit for the cause.

At 18 years old, Terry underwent surgery to amputate his right leg, six inches above the knee, after being diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma.

The night before, his high school basketball coach, Terri Fleming, visited him and shared an article about Dick Traum — an amputee runner who had completed the New York City Marathon.

707 days later, Terry began training for what became the — a journey that united millions and transformed cancer research in Canada.

Terry started a marathon against cancer.
Together, we can . ❤️🇨🇦
