The 46th Terry Fox Halifax Run Draws Big Crowd

The 46th Terry Fox Run for cancer research in Halifax yesterday had a huge crowd on hand at Point Pleasant Park.

It was a chilly start to the morning with hundreds there to support the cause to finish what Terry Fox began in 1980 with The Marathon of Hope.

Above our son Trent’s Terry’s Team Member Cancer survivor t-shirt with the locations Terry visited, he was in Halifax on May 18, 1980.

In Halifax since 1982, over $950,000. has been raised for important cancer research, with more than $1 Billion raised in Terry’s name worldwide.

Runners begin the 46th Halifax Terry Fox Run.

It was an honour again to be the MC.

A September 22nd update: The folks at the Halifax Terry Fox office on Kempt Road tell me that over $42,000. was raised last Sunday with more donations coming in online daily.

There were 336 participants, 150 more than 2025, with 40 volunteers helping out.

Please save the date for the 47th Terry Fox Run next September 19th, 2027. 👟👟
