Sunny skies are expected for the 34th annual Terry Fox Run, which is taking place at four locations Sunday across the Tri-Cities.
POCO
Port Coquitlam will be holding the Hometown Run - traditionally, the Tri-Cities' biggest Fox Run - starting at the Hyde Creek rec centre (1379 Laurier Ave.) at 10 a.m. Participants are asked to arrive early to register for either the 3 km, 5 km, 8 km or 10 km routes, and may run, walk, cycle or inline skate. Wheelchairs and strollers are welcome, and dogs must be on a leash.
PoCo is testing out a new route this year, with the 10 km course heading over the Coast Meridian Overpass and down Kingsway Avenue to Terry Fox Library before looping back on itself, with a stop by Terry Fox secondary. The 6 km route will also see participants crossing the overpass, circling back and visiting Fox school, while the 3 km route will have the crowd turn at Terry Fox secondary.
The band Legal Limit will be performing classic rock covers at the Hometown Run between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and there will be a speech by Judi Fox, Terry's sister.
COQUITLAM
Coquitlam will start its Terry Fox Run at Blue Mountain Park; registration begins at 9:15 a.m. and the run is expected to kick off at 10:15.
Coquitlam will have 10 km, 6 km and 2 km routes, and all are suitable for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers and inline skaters. Dogs on a leash are also welcome.
PORT MOODY
In Port Moody, the Terry Fox Run is set to begin at 10 a.m., with registration starting at 9 a.m. and the start line located at stage at Rocky Point Park.
The event will also feature three routes -10 km, 5 km and 2 km - with the route lining the shoreline trail and looping back to Rocky Point.
The routes are suitable for bicycles, wheelchairs, strollers and inline skates, and dogs on leashes are welcome.
