Organizers estimate about $24,000 was raised at the 2016 Terry Fox Run here on Sunday.
Coordinator Louise Ellis said about 162 participants and 10 volunteers were on hand for the Sept. 18 event.
“It was a great day. It’s always a great community day,” she said.
Ellis notes the total is a “bit of a moving target” at this point, as post-run donations continue to roll in.
Last year’s run, the 35th annual, was at about the same mark immediately following the run and ended up reaching a local record total exceeding $30,000.
The local run regularly places in the top 10 in per capita fundraising and has raised more than $400,000 since its inception.
Ellis noted the current group of longtime organizers has indicated their intent to step aside to make way for a fresh group to take over.
Anyone interested in becoming part of the organization is encouraged to contact any current committee member.
