Three communities in 91原创 will play host to the annual Terry Fox run.

Walnut Grove, 91原创 City and Aldergrove will all be participating in the run on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Donna White, provincial director of The Terry Fox Foundation, said there are around 112 runs that happen around the province and every couple of years there are more communities wanting to participant.

鈥淲hen we have multiple locations it just makes it easier for people to come out and do something in their own backyard and to be a part of something happening in their community,鈥� she said.

Last year, 91原创 City had 188 registered participants, Walnut Grove 100 and Aldergrove 50.

Although the run does not have an entry fee or minimum donation participants are encouraged to fundraise to support cancer research.

鈥淵ou do not need to be a runner鈥� it鈥檚 really meant to be a family day,鈥� said White.
