46th Annual Brockville Terry Fox Run

The 46th annual Terry Fox Run is being held on Sunday, September 20th in Brockville and across Leeds & Grenville.

In Brockville, the run is being held at the Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS) track with registration starting at noon and the run starting at 1:00pm.

Everyone is welcome to participate. Come out on Sunday to walk, run, support the participants, and help raise funds for cancer research.

Donations and pledges can be made through terryfox.org or in person at the event.

The run will start with the ceremonial walk around the TISS track piped out by a piper before heading out for the 5K run/walk.

The five-kilometre route runs along Parkedale Avenue to the Brock Trail across from the police station, where participants then head north to Laurier Boulevard, then west to Windsor Drive and back to TISS.

In the 45 years since Terry Fox dipped his artificial leg in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast in St. John’s, N.L., and ran the equivalent of a marathon (26 miles) a day, over $900 million has been raised by Terry Fox Run participants.

Locally, the Brockville Terry Fox Run has raised half a million dollars since 1981.

Come out and help Brockville carry on Terry Fox’s incredible legacy for the 46th year!
