"The Little Race That Could"
It’s been a while since I’ve last run the Assiniboine Forest trails. Located in Winnipeg’s Charleswood neighbourhood, this hidden gem is the largest urban forest in Canada.

Dear Running Community. Ted’s Run for Literacy is pleased to announce our Covid 19 restrictions for our event on September 26th.

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,…
