The 45th anniversary of the Terry Fox run will be taking place Sunday September 14th.
The run will take place at Muskoseepi park which is the only run in Grande Prairie, registration for the run starts at 10:30am but the run will start at 11.
Not only will Grande Prairie start their run at 11, but the rest of Canada will do the same.
You can register early online as well, Judy Tremblay who is the coordinator of the Terry Fox run in Grande Prairie, explained how someone can register or donate for the event.
“They can go online anytime to terryfox.org and pick ‘find a run’ and then punch in Grande Prairie, and from there they can register for the run.”
Over the past 5 years, the Terry Fox run has continued to grow onto the next generation, not only with runners, but with donations. In 2020 and 2021, GP raised $10,000 each year, but in 2024 the peace region nearly tripled that amount donating $27,000.
The goal for 2025 is set at $17,000. As of September 10th 2025, the current amount sits at $12,691.
