Terry Fox Run Returns To The Capital For The 21st Year

 The Terry Fox Run returns to the Capital on Friday, 19 January 2018. The yearly run is a must-attend on the calendars of families, sport enthusiasts, philanthropists and UAE residents. The run fuels charitable donations for local cancer research and commemorates the indelible mark that Terry Fox left on his fight against cancer. The last Run had people and schools participate by running, walking and wheeling along an 8.5KM track on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. Since 1981 the Terry Fox Run has contributed significantly towards supporting innovative cancer research and has also created a culture of social responsibility in the UAE.

There is no charge to participate in the Run. Pre-registration is now open at http://www.terryfox.org/international-runs/abudhabi/ where participants can sign up in advance for the Run, make online donations and order t-shirts. For those participants who registered in 2016 and 2017, the registration remains valid.

The 8.5 Km Run will start and end at the East Plaza on the Abu Dhabi Corniche at Al Sahil Beach and will take the direction towards the Mina Zayed Port. Onsite registration and t-shirt pick up starts at 7:00 A.M. and the run commences at 9:00 A.M.

Donations are encouraged (either through t-shirt purchases or monetary donations) and the Foundation also promotes corporate participation. Companies are requested to register online or by emailing terryfoxauh@thinkflash.ae
