Ted Moore Run/Walk

The Theodore “Ted” Moore 5-kilometer (3-mile) Run/Walk is an annual event held in honor of a former Mohawk Valley Community College associate professor whose life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver.  This race, which began back in 1997, also helps raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.

Theodore “Ted” Moore was an Associate Professor in MVCC’s Mathematics Department from 1981 until his death in December 1996 when he was tragically hit and killed by a drunk driver while out for a morning run. The theme for the event, “None for the Road,” reflects the MVCC community’s emphatic opposition to driving while under the influence of alcohol.

The race is held the beginning of May each year with the course cutting through the Utica Campus and surrounding neighborhoods.

Proceeds from the event benefit an MVCC scholarship in Moore’s name along with a portion being awarded to area agencies whose mission is drug and alcohol abuse prevention and treatment. Awards are presented for the top runners in 12 age categories for male and female along with overall awards for runners and fundraising awards.
