Come and run with us, walk the route or just enjoy a nice afternoon for a good cause. Terry Fox was a young Canadian who, after his own experience with cancer, decided to run across Canada to help people who are going through the same disease. His courage and belief that even one person can change the world around him inspire to this day. This year, we are continuing his legacy in Brno and running for the patients of the Masaryk Cancer Institute and their loved ones.
The run is non-competitive and open to everyone. Athletes, non-athletes, children, families and those who just want to walk the route in peace. Admission is free.

The Terry Fox Run in Brno is a charity event for children, adults, families, athletes and non-athletes alike. It’s not about the race, the results or the ranking. It’s about the joy of movement, a shared experience and support for a good cause.
We will meet on Sunday, September 20, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Nová Zbrojovka complex, Lazaretní 9, Brno.
The 5 km run will start at 1:30 p.m. and the children’s 100 m run will start at 2:30 p.m.
We will run for patients of the Masaryk Cancer Institute in Brno. We want to support people who are being treated for cancer and their loved ones.
Admission to the event and registration are free. We will be very happy for your voluntary contribution to the collection via the Donio platform.
The event will be accompanied by the team of the Maple Bear Brno Primary School. We believe that children learn to help best through real experiences, and the Terry Fox run is a beautiful opportunity to connect the school, families, community and charity.
Registration is also possible after Thursday 12:00 and also directly on site on the day of the event. However, if you register by Thursday by 12:00, we will be able to prepare a specific registration number and registration package for you in advance.
For later registrations, we will have a certain number of extra numbers and packages, but we can no longer guarantee their availability. However, you can also participate in the run if the number or package is no longer available to you.
Transport and parking: Nové Zbrojovky Street will be closed during the run. If you arrive by car, it will be possible to park through the entrance at ZET.office, but we recommend arriving well in advance. Another option is parking in the vicinity or along the Svitavské embankment. We recommend using public transport. The nearest stops are Vojenská nemocnice, tram 2 and 3, or Náměstí Republiky, tram 4.
There will be a 5 km run for adults and a 100 m children’s run. The adult route leads in two circuits, where one circuit is approximately 2.5 km. The route will also include a small variation in the form of a course through Industra Coffee. The route is intended for everyone. You can run it on a personal run, trot at a leisurely pace or walk through it calmly. It doesn’t matter how fast you run. The important thing is that you get involved and together we will support a good cause.
The children’s 100 m run is prepared for small runners who want to enjoy the atmosphere of the start, finish and cheering together. It will be run in a pleasant spirit, without measuring the results and without announcing the order.
The routes will be clearly marked and there will be organizers in important places who will show the participants the right direction. So you don’t have to worry that you won’t know which way to run or where to continue. Just come, tune in to the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy running at your own pace.
By registering online, you will help us better prepare the facilities and small participant attentions for runners. However, it will also be possible to register on site on the day of the event.

Admission to the event and registration are free. However, the main purpose of the run is to help where even a little support can bring great relief. This year, we will run to support patients of the Radiation Oncology Clinic of the Masaryk Cancer Institute in Brno, especially children who undergo radiation, and activities that help them and other patients cope with difficult moments of treatment a little more calmly.
The proceeds of the collection will help with cancer research and, for example, with the purchase of toys and small aids for children who are waiting for radiation or going through it. It is such things that can help children distract themselves from the hospital environment, bring them a sense of security and at least a small piece of joy in a moment that may not be easy for them.
Canistherapy, i.e. visits from therapy dogs, is also part of the support. Contact with a dog can bring patients calmness, distraction, closeness and a humanly ordinary moment that helps them forget about treatment, waiting and fears for a while.
Every post makes sense. Thank you for helping with us.
Registration is free of charge and will help us better prepare the facilities and small participant attention for runners. Choose a route, write the name of the team and come and enjoy a charity afternoon with us at Nová Zbrojovka.

Terry Fox was a young Canadian who was diagnosed with cancer and lost part of his leg due to the disease. Nevertheless, he decided to do something extraordinary. In 1980, he embarked on his Marathon of Hope, a run across Canada to raise money for cancer research and help people who are undergoing similar treatment to him.
He did not run for glory or for victory. He ran to show that even one person can inspire millions of others. Today, his legacy lives on around the world through the Terry Fox Run, charity runs that bring together children, adults, schools, families, and entire communities.
The Terry Fox Run in Brno follows this idea. It doesn’t matter who finishes first. The important thing is that we meet, move and together support people who are being treated for cancer and their loved ones.
