The Terry Fox Outer Cove Gathering

On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope at Mile Zero in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador. In the hours before his run, Terry brought an empty glass bottle to a small beach in Outer Cove and filled it with Atlantic seawater. He planned to pour the jug of water into the Pacific Ocean at the end of his run, symbolically connecting our country from coast to coast.
Parks Canada, the Terry Fox Foundation and the Town of Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove hosted the Terry Fox Outer Cove Gathering to celebrate Terry Fox’s legacy as a person of national historic significance and the important role Outer Cove Beach played in the Marathon of Hope.
The simple glass bottle of Atlantic sea water he collected there continues to represent Terry’s determination to unite the entire country behind his cause. After 35 years, his legacy continues to inspire us.
