The 40th annual Terry Fox Run will not be cancelled due to COVID-19, but runners will be participating in 2020 a little more individually, just like Fox himself.

"2020 Terry Fox Run. One Day. Your Way."

To prevent the cancellation of the 2020 Terry Fox Run, this is how the event's organizers have decided to establish the event in the midst of COVID-19.

in spirit, not in person," the Terry Fox Foundation says.

The 2020 event can be completed by participants wherever they wish due to the event's virtual format.

"Wherever you are! Around your neighbourhood, backyard, down the street or around the block," the event's website encourages.

Registry for the event is available for individuals, families, and virtual teams.

Why move the annual event online?

"Because cancer research cannot wait for COVID-19 to be over. Because Terry asked us to try. Because it's the 40th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope!"
