Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, this year's Terry Fox Run went virtual.

"I'm not getting any younger and so I thought I should probably run one before it's maybe too late," McBeath admitted.

Canadians across the country are taking part in the Terry Fox Run on Sunday.

Brent Carrothers says he will be running his first full marathon on Sunday, and will follow the path that Terry Fox ran in 1980 when he came to London. 

The illustration, which was featured on the search engine's homepage in Canada was done by Toronto-based artist Lynn Scurfield.

Before stopping, Fox ran close to a marathon a day for 143 days, covering more than 5,000 kilometres.

With coronavirus gripping the world, this year’s run in September will be a virtual gathering, with participants asked to run on their own instead of en masse.

Over the next two weeks, 38 signs will be installed along the route he ran along Dundas and Richmond streets on July 17, 1980.

Adidas released replicas of its vintage Orion running shoe that Fox wore during his run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
