Dauphin's Terry Fox Run took place at Vermillion Park last Sunday.
Stephen Roznowsky, the local organizer of the Terry Fox Run, says that although he hoped for better attendance, he's still pleased with how the run went.
"We were about 40+... I hope would've hoped that we [would've gotten] closer to 100... Since [it was] the first run after the pandemic, people were kind of uncertain about the weather, and of course, [there were] a lot of other activities that [were] going around... [it did have an impact] on our numbers," he adds.
Roznowsky says that it was wonderful to finally be able to hold an in-person Terry Fox Run and that everyone was waiting to get back to something more normal.
"Even though it was outdoors... people felt a lot braver to attend with their families and with their siblings. I think, all in all, most people were very upbeat about attending the run and being face-to-face with some of their friends, families and neighbours," he adds.
According to Roznowsky, the fundraising target was $2,000 and donation numbers won't be finalized before the end of October because a large portion of donations were made online.
"I think we're... pretty close to my target... so far... we're over $1,000," he adds.
Stephen Roznowsky went on to say that he will be organizing next year's Terry Fox Run as well.
