Terry Fox Run hosted by Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley Returns to Palo Alto with Focus on the Power to Finish

On Sunday, September 14, 2025, Silicon Valley will once again join millions around the globe in honouring the legacy of Terry Fox—an extraordinary young athlete who ran across Canada on one leg to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. This year’s Terry Fox Run—centred around the empowering theme “Finish It”—will be hosted by Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley, in collaboration with Northern California Four Seasons properties: Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero, Four Seasons Private Residences at 706 Mission, and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley.

Held at Baylands Athletic Center, the community-driven run/walk event welcomes runners, walkers, joggers, and families of all abilities to hit the trail in support of cutting-edge cancer research. Whether chasing a personal record or simply taking strides for a cause, every mile helps carry forward Terry’s vision of a world without cancer.

“This isn’t just about how fast you run—it's about why you run,” says Adora Manalo, General Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley. “This year’s theme, ‘Finish It,’ is a tribute to perseverance—finishing the race, finishing the fight, and finishing what Terry started.”

Food for the Finish Line
