Ted’s Run for Literacy is pleased to announce our Covid-19 restrictions for our event on September 25th, 2022.
We take considerable pride in setting high standards in terms of providing a safe and enjoyable race day experience for all participants including runners, volunteers, sponsors, and board members. We strongly believe the following protocols are socially responsible, reasonable, and will minimize the risk associated with the further spread of Covid-19.
All participants including walkers, runners, volunteers, and board members will need to be fully vaccinated. Participants and volunteers will present their Immunization Card or digital QR Code at kit pickup or earlier. Board members will self-disclose.
Full vaccination meaning the person has received at least 2 doses of the same COVID-19 vaccine accepted in Canada, a mix of 2 accepted vaccines. or at least 1 dose of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
- Children will fall under the parent/guardian's vaccination status.
- If unable to socially distance, all participants including runners, spectators, volunteers, and board members are encouraged to wear a mask.
- Food distribution will be handled with care and using all appropriate PPE by designated personnel.
- Race Day registration is cancelled.
Further to the above, on race day we ask everyone to self asses for any symptoms such as, but not limited to: fever, cough, tiredness, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, headache, aches and pains, diarrhea, a rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toes, red or irritated eyes, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain. Please stay home if you or anyone else is feeling a combination of the preceded.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be fluid and ever dynamic, we'll revisit and review with intent to update as necessary. Should the Province of Manitoba mandate higher restrictions on public gatherings and events, you'll have the option to switch to virtual.
There are no deferrals or refunds at this time.
Now for the good news. Our 10KM and 5KM distances will be professionally timed. The 2KM Family Fun Walk / Run is back. We have unique medals, music, two paramedics and one medical doctor onsite, and the famous Fubuki Daiko Drummers will drum you home!
We are the little race that could… with your support, we will be the little race that did!
Be safe, be kind, be smart.
