Event description

Join a Dubai tradition since 1994! Take part in The Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research on Sunday, February 25, 2024!

This non-competitive fun run will fund cancer research projects in the UAE supported by The Terry Fox Foundation.

Do not miss this unique opportunity to make a difference and celebrate the legacy of Terry Fox, a Canadian amputee athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist who ran 5,373 km across Canada to raise funds for cancer research in 1980.

This family event, 2.5 or 5 km, is open to all ages and abilities - strollers are welcome, and you can run or walk the course. Be ready to have fun and support cancer research together - see you on the start line!

The Terry Fox Run proceeds will be donated to Al Jalila Foundation to support cancer research in UAE.

If you cannot run/walk, contribute your time and support the event by registering as a volunteering marshal or manning the registration desk and hydration stations.
