Mark your calendars, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to celebrate community spirit—the Windermere Terry Fox Runreturns on Sunday, September 14th. Registration opens at 9:00 a.m., and the run officially kicks off at 10:00 a.m.
For 26 years, this small-town gathering has been more than just a run. It’s been a reunion of neighbours, families, and friends, all walking, running, biking—or simply showing up to cheer—in the name of hope. Over the years, Windermere’s dedication has raised over $660,000 for cancer research. Not bad for a little town with a big heart!
The Terry Fox Run has always been about connection. Parents running alongside their kids. Grandparents cheering from lawn chairs. Volunteers handing out water with wide smiles. This year, the celebration stretches even further with a full lineup of community fun:
• A Barbecue to fuel hungry runners (and non-runners too).
• Live music to keep the good vibes rolling.
• Face painting and kids’ games to make sure even the littlest participants have a blast.
• A silent auction and social gathering—because giving and visiting are just as important as running.
And since 2025 marks the 45th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope, we’re also adding a playful new feature: a Dinosaur Disco, spinning tunes straight out of 1980, the year Terry began his journey. Expect retro beats, big smiles, and maybe even a few questionable dance moves before and after the run.
Whether you run the route, walk with a stroller, bike with a buddy, or just come for the barbecue, auction, and music—your presence matters. Every step, every laugh, every bid, and every donation adds to a legacy that stretches far beyond Windermere.
