Stouffville’s Terry Fox Run Arrives Sunday 

Stouffville will host its annual Terry Fox Run this Sunday, coinciding with the 45th anniversary of the beloved national event. The run supports the Terry Fox Foundation, which continues Fox’s legacy by funding important cancer research.

Registration opens at 12 p.m. at Memorial Park, with both 2-kilometre and 5-kilometre routes planned. The mass start begins at 1 p.m., and the community is encouraged to come out and cheer on participants.

As of publishing, more than $50,000 has been raised toward the organization’s $85,000 goal. Teams and individuals can still register online and collect pledges, and donations can be made on the run’s website.

The alcohol-free event will feature food trucks, popcorn, ice cream, and children’s activities, with spots available on a first-come basis.

Tickets can be purchased in advance online and will also be available at the gate as capacity allows. Resulting proceeds will be donated to the Stouffville Terry Fox Run in support of its fundraising goal.
