We're only a few weeks away from the Woodstock Terry Fox Run and it will be a virtual event once again.
WOODSTOCK - The 41st annual Woodstock Terry Fox Run is right around the corner.
It's going to be a virtual run on Sunday September 19th this year. Chair John Versaevel explains how a virtual run is different from the traditional in-person run.
"A virtual run is basically where the participant just goes out on the day of the run and they can either run, walk, bike with family, a friend or a small self contained group and mark the day that way."
This means there will be no in-person event at College Avenue Secondary School. Participants will get to choose where they log their run time, whether it be in their neighbourhood or a nearby trail.
The virtual run was a big success in 2020, raising $26,970 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Varseavel says anyone looking for more information can visit their information booth at the Woodstock Farmers Market.
"We'll be there every Saturday from now to September 18th, the day before the run, and it's for everyone who wants to pick up a t-shirt, a pledge form and get some information about the run."
Woodstock has hosted a Terry Fox fundraiser every year since 1980 and the local event has raised over $500,000 since then. You can learn more and sign up for this year's virtual run online here.
