Mohawk Valley Community College’s 27th annual Theodore “Ted” Moore Run/Walk, presented by the Oneida County STOP-DWI Program, will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at MVCC’s Utica Campus.

Registrations are now being accepted at mvcc.edu/tedmoore. For the general public, advanced registration (available until race day) is $25, and race-day registration is $30. Registration for students is $10. Race-day registration begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Robert R. Jorgensen Athletic and Event Center.

Beginning this year, the two overall winners (one winner each from the men’s and women’s categories) will get free registration the following year. Winners of this year’s race will get free registration in 2025. 

“This event reminds us all not only of the dangers of drinking and driving but also the importance of coming together as a community and supporting each other as Ted Moore did,” said Ted Moore Run/Walk Race Director Katie Voce. 

Theodore “Ted” Moore was an Associate Professor in MVCC’s Mathematics Department from 1981 until December 1996, when he was tragically struck and killed by a drunk driver while out for a morning run. The College honors his memory each year with the Ted Moore Run/Walk, and the theme “None for the Road” reflects MVCC’s opposition to driving while under the influence of alcohol. Event proceeds benefit a scholarship in Moore’s name, which is awarded annually to deserving MVCC students who exemplify the qualities and values of Ted Moore.
