Join Four Seasons Corporate Home Office and Hotel Employees for the 46th Annual Terry Fox Run at Wilket Creek Park to Raise Funds for Cancer Research on Sunday, September 20, 2026

Four Seasons invites runners, walkers, riders, and spectators to join Founder and Chairman Emeritus Isadore Sharp, along with hundreds of Four Seasons corporate and hotel employees, for the annual Terry Fox Run at Wilket Creek Park in North York on Sunday, September 20, 2026.

Realizing Terry’s Dream

Four Seasons Hotel Toronto and Four Seasons corporate home office organize Canada’s largest Terry Fox Run site at Wilket Creek Park, located at the corner of Leslie Street and Eglinton Avenue. Four Seasons employees and their families volunteer every year to register runners, serve food and refreshments, and manage the children’s play area, with hundreds also joining in the run itself.

Last year, Wilket Creek achieved record fundraised of over CAD 1 million. Close to CAD 16 million has been raised at the Wilket Creek Terry Fox Run site since 1981, with every dollar going directly to the Terry Fox Foundation. This event supports critical projects, including precision oncology for young people, genetic research into hereditary cancers, and advanced studies in leukemia, brain cancers, and more.
