Mohawk Valley Community College’s annual Theodore “Ted” Moore Run/Walk, presented by the Oneida County STOP-DWI Program and in its 26th year, will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 27, on the Utica Campus.
The registration fee is $25 for the general public ($30 on the day of the race) and $10 for students, and all participants will receive a light-up armband. Registrations will be accepted up to the day of the event. Race day registration begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Robert R. Jorgensen Athletic and Events Center.
“This event is an important part of raising awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving,” said Ted Moore Run/Walk Race Director Courtney Taurisano-Sprague.
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.
