Official Video of the 2023 Terry Fox Run UK
Register and run, ride or walk 2.5 - 10k. The Terry Fox Run is free to enter, non-competitive and open-to-all, and the goal is to raise funds for cancer research for The Institute of Cancer Research in the name of a true Canadian hero.
THE COURSE
Terry Fox Run Route and Start/Finish lines
The Terry Fox Run registration booths and start line will be at the Bandstand in the middle of the Park.
Battersea Park is a beautiful, tree lined and central park in London.
The route is broken into laps of 2.5km. It's scenic and flat on pavement and loops past the lagoon and sports fields.
Runners, walkers and bikers can do the loop 1, 2, 3 or 4 times, depending on their own challenge level.
Terry’s wish was that this is a non-competitive event. The only race is against cancer.
