​Kincardine Terry Fox Run set for Sept. 14 at the Davidson Centre

The Kincardine Terry Fox Run will be held Sunday, Sept. 14, with registration beginning at 8 a.m., and the run at 9 a.m., at the Davidson Centre.

An annual event for more than 40 years, the run will feature members of the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band leading the first lap around the track before the participants head out on the five-kilometre and 10-kilometre routes.

Mike Brough is the MC again this year, and Kincardine mayor Kenneth Craig will bring greetings. There will also be a warm-up, led by Anthony Wilkinson of No Drama Fitness.

Everyone is welcome to walk, run or bike the routes. There will be water stations along the way, monitored by members of the Kinetic Knights Robotics Team (FRC Team 781).

The Kincardine Terry Fox Run has raised between $10,000 and $14,000 each year. All the proceeds go toward cancer research which has provided many new treatments, allowing cancer patients to live longer with a better quality of life.

Come to the event Sept. 14, and for a donation, you can join the walk in honour of Terry Fox.

To volunteer or for more information about the local run, contact Margaret Visser at mvisser@hurontel.on.ca.

This is Visser’s final year as co-ordinator, a position she has held for the past nine years. The committee is seeking a new run co-ordinator. If you would like to check out this opportunity, or know of someone who might be interested, contact Visser (at the above E-mail) to learn what is involved. You can also talk to any team member when you return from your walk.
