when is terry fox run

The Terry Fox Run is held annually in September, most commonly on a Sunday in mid‑September across Canada and in many international locations.

Quick Scoop: When is the Terry Fox Run?

  • In 2026, the national Terry Fox Run in Canada is scheduled for Sunday, September 20, 2026.
  • The Terry Fox Foundation also lists upcoming dates as:
    • Sunday, September 20, 2026
    • Sunday, September 19, 2027
    • Sunday, September 17, 2028
  • Individual cities and countries sometimes run their own Terry Fox events on the same day or on nearby September dates (for example, Auckland and various Canadian universities host local runs in mid‑September).

How it usually works

Most official community Terry Fox Runs:

  • Take place on a Sunday in mid‑September.
  • Are non‑competitive: you can walk, run, or bike; there’s no required distance or minimum fundraising amount.
  • Are organized locally but coordinated under the Terry Fox Foundation or partner charities in that country.

What you should do next

Because dates can vary slightly:

  1. Go to the official Terry Fox Foundation site and use their “Find a Run” or event listings to check your specific city or community.
  1. If you’re outside Canada (e.g., New Zealand, universities abroad), search for “Terry Fox Run” plus your city and year; many local organizers post their own September dates.
