Terry Fox Run Ottawa 2026

Terry Fox Run Ottawa returns Sunday, September 20, 2026 at Carleton University's Anniversary Park, part of the national Terry Fox Run day across Canada. The community run/walk along Colonel By Drive and the Rideau Canal corridor has no entry fee; fundraising supports cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation.

Ottawa hosts multiple Terry Fox Run sites on the same day — this listing covers the Carleton University location coordinated by the Ottawa Terry Fox committee. For Ottawa races, it's a free September tradition supporting cancer research.

Community run/walk from Anniversary Park on the north side of Carleton University (Colonel By Drive). Participants may walk, run, cycle, or wheel along the scenic canal-side route. Confirm 2026 route and schedule on run.terryfox.ca/129631.
