Terry Fox Run: Auckland
Auckland, Barry Curtis Park, Flat Bush
The race
About this course
This annual fun run/walk aims to support cancer research and takes place in Barry Curtis Park, featuring a 2.5km loop that participants complete twice, allowing for a varied terrain of pavement, grass, and gravel.
The event fosters an inclusive atmosphere, welcoming participants of all ages and abilities, including families with strollers and dogs. This non-competitive format encourages community participation without the pressure of timing or performance.
The run honors Terry Fox, a Canadian who inspired many with his journey to raise funds for cancer research after losing his leg to the disease. In line with his legacy, the event is notable for its absence of a registration fee and fundraising minimums, ensuring accessibility for all. Additionally, the event operates without corporate sponsorship, allowing all donations to directly benefit the Cancer Research Trust New Zealand.
The community spirit is strong, with local involvement enhancing the overall experience.
