"The Little Race That Could"
Ted’s Run for Literacy is no different than all other running events; planning is suspended until officials tell us otherwise. Are we hoping for the biggest, grandest 10th annual celebration on September 27? A resounding YES! Are we preparing for cancelation, the worst case scenario? Sadly, yes. We remain cautiously optimistic, however we sit tight…
That got your attention. Ted’s Run for Literacy would love to offer free registrations but alas, we cannot. We remain committed to our mission of eliminating the cycle of childhood poverty and our goal of hosting a Class A+ running experience for all levels of competitiveness. This costs money. Free doesn’t purchase running shoes, tee-shirts,…

Dear Gina, Just a quick note to congratulate you on your third place finish at the 2019 Winnipeg Police Half Marathon. You are an inspiration to our community and you make us so proud! One hour, thirty-one minutes, and one second is an outstanding time, but (there’s always a ‘but’) I want to draw your attention…
We’re not flush, but we aren’t cheap either. Last year Ted’s Run for Literacy donated $7077 to two very deserving organizations that align directly with our Mission Statement. We donated $4000 to our long term charity partner, Can U and another $3077 to Inner City Missions, Learn and Play. When you register for The Little…
