Port Moody Terry Fox Run

Port Moody hosts their annual Terry Fox Run on a Sunday in mid-September at Rocky Point Park as a fundraiser to support cancer research.

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, the Terry Fox Run was a virtual event from 2020 to 2023. That changes this year though! The 2024 Terry Fox Run happens in-person on Sunday, September 15th.

Communities across Canada host Terry Fox Runs on the second Sunday after Labour Day to spread awareness and raise funds to help in the battle against cancer. Around two dozen events happen in the Vancouver area each year. Check out Vancouver Terry Fox Runs to find one near you.

2024 will be the first year since before the pandemic that the Port Moody event takes place as a live, in-person event. This year the Terry Fox Run at Rocky Point Park is on Sunday, September 15th. Registration opens at 8:30 am and the run starts at 10:00 am. The event wraps up by around noon.

There are usually three routes to choose from at the Port Moody Terry Fox Run. Folks typically have the option of doing a 2 km, 5 km or 10 km circuit. The three routes are in the same general area but have different turnaround points. All options are suitable for bikes, wheelchairs and strollers, and dogs on leash were welcome. Exact details for 2024 are TBC as of mid-June.

The same as other years, registration for the event is free in 2024. As the run is a fundraiser, however, participants are asked to make a donation and/or gather pledges from friends and family members to support the cause.

All funds raised at the event go directly to the Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research. In 2019 the Port Moody run collected around $11,000 in pledges!
