Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur Hosts Third Terry Fox Fun Run to Raise Funds for Cancer Research in Malaysia on May 18, 2025

Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur is set to host its third official Terry Fox Fun Run on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 7:00 am. The five-kilometre run will take place along Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (Cityhall) scheduled Sunday morning car-free route, with a start and finish point from the Hotel.

Drawing inspiration from Terry’s courageous spirit and his vision of a cancer-free world, the Hotel invites participants of all ages to join the run in support of Cancer Research Malaysia. Last year the Hotel raised more than MYR 43,331.30 from the run and hopes to surpass that number this year with a goal of 1,000 participants.

Whether participating or cheering from the side lines, everyone is encouraged to sign up via the Hotel website or the QR code below. A participation fee of MYR 90 comes with a complimentary t-shirt and the proceeds will go towards Cancer Research Malaysia.

“We’re privileged to lead this important event for the third consecutive year and help raise funds for cancer research in the local community,” says Nelson Hilton, Regional Commercial Director. “We welcome everyone to join the event at their own pace – you can run, jog or walk to the finish line. Like last year, we hope to see families, friends and colleagues come together in support of this worthy cause.”

The history of the Terry Fox Run goes back to 1980, when 22-year-old Terry Fox, who lost his leg to bone cancer, ran 5,374 kilometres across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Through rain, snow and heat, he continued his Marathon of Hope until he was forced to stop because cancer appeared in his lungs. He passed away the following year, but not before raising CAD 24 million for the cause.

In honour of Terry’s legacy, Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp worked closely with several sponsors to organise the first-ever Terry Fox Run in 1981, drawing more than 300,000 participants. Today, more than 12,000 Terry Fox Memorial Runs take place around the world annually, supported by Four Seasons in several locations, and this year marks the 45th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope.
