Dundas Terry Fox Run

The 2026 annual Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday, September 20th at the Dundas Driving Park!

07/22/2026

These shots are from last September at the Driving Park. A whole community in motion, some running hard, some strolling with coffee in hand, plenty of dogs setting the pace. Whatever the reason each person came, they all pointed the same direction.

Run day has a feeling that photos only half capture. The nerves and excitement at the start. A stranger clapping as you pass. A name written on someone's back for the person they are out there for. Somewhere between the first step and the last, it stops feeling like an event and starts feeling like family.

That was 2025. What happens in 2026 is up to you. If you have done this before, you already miss it. If you never have, consider this your invitation. You do not need to be quick, and you do not even need to run. You just need to be there.

Every step and every dollar chips away at cancer for the people who need us to keep going. That is the work Terry began, and Dundas has never let it drop.

Register today and be part of it. https://run.terryfox.ca/129728
See you at the Driving Park.

Every year, this run happens because people show up. Not just the runners and walkers. The folks handing out water. The ones cheering at the turnaround. The person pointing the way with a smile at 7am when the coffee has not fully kicked in yet.

We are looking for volunteers for run day, and there is a spot for whatever you have to give. A couple of hours or the whole morning. Setup, registration table, route marshalling, cheering, cleanup. If you want to be part of the day without lacing up for the full route, this is your way in.

No experience needed. Just bring your energy and your love for this community. You will meet great people, you will be part of something Terry started, and you will leave knowing you helped.

Finish this sentence in the comments: I run for ____________

Maybe it's a name. Maybe it's a word like hope, or my mom, or myself. Whatever it is, it matters, and seeing them all together is one of the most moving things about this community.

We'll be reading every single one.

September 20 at the Dundas Driving Park. Register or donate at the link in bio.

Terry started his Marathon of Hope alone on a foggy morning in St. John's. By the time he reached Ontario, whole towns were running beside him. That is what a team really is. Not a crowd. Just people who decided not to let someone go it alone.

So if the word "team" feels like a big commitment, here is the good news: a team can be you plus one. A partner. Your kid. The neighbour two doors down. Pick someone, give yourselves a name, and you are officially a team.

Teams are the most fun way to do this run. You fundraise together, you cheer each other on, and on September 20 you cross the finish line at Dundas Driving Park with your people beside you.

Ever wonder where your donation actually goes when you run with us in Dundas? Here's the answer.

Every dollar raised at the Driving Park goes to the Terry Fox Foundation, funding Canada's top scientists, moving discoveries from the lab into hospitals, and building a future where cancer care is tailored to each patient.

And it's working. More than $1 billion raised since Terry's Marathon of Hope. Over 1,300 research projects funded. Childhood leukemia survival has gone from under 3% to over 90%. That's what your support makes possible.

When Dundas shows up, real progress happens. Register or donate through the link in bio, and be part of the next breakthrough.

"Dreams are made if people try." — Terry Fox
One young Canadian dreamed of a country without cancer and ran until he couldn't. Today we celebrate the nation he loved, and the neighbours who keep his dream running right here at home.

Hi Dundas — it's Amy, volunteer co-chair of the Dundas Terry Fox Run, alongside my good friend, Dr. Nicole Ciraolo-Wilson.

A couple of weeks ago the Terry Fox Foundation shared my story on their Instagram, and I wanted to share it here, in case you haven't heard. I've been volunteering with our Dundas run for years — first as Nicole's friend tagging along to help, then fundraising, organizing, eventually co-chairing. Long before any of this was personal.

This past February, I was diagnosed with an incurable cancer - specifically, ultra high-risk multiple myeloma and a rare complication called AL amyloidosis. The treatment holding me steady right now — the drugs, the immunotherapy, the autologous stem cell transplant I'm having at Juravinski in July — exists because of decades of cancer research.

Two decades ago, treatments like mine didn't exist. The difference is research. Research that keeps moving forward because of the movement Terry Fox started. He didn't get to see what the Marathon of Hope became, but we did — and we get to keep it going.

On Sunday, September 20th, I'll be at the starting line of the Dundas Terry Fox Run, and I'd love nothing more than to see our community out there with me.

Two ways to be part of it:

1. Register for the Dundas Terry Fox Run on Sunday, September 20th. Walk, run, or cheer from the sidelines. Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring a friend who needs a reason to get outside: https://run.terryfox.ca/129728

2. If you're on Instagram, head over to the Terry Fox Foundation's post about our run and drop a comment — tell them you'll be there with us in Dundas. It means more than you'd think for them to see this town show up: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYz7nccnDdu/?img_index=1

If you'd like to follow along as I go through treatment, transplant, and the lead-up to the run, I'm at on instagram.

Enjoy the summer — and I'll see you at the Driving Park on Sunday, September 20th.
