Description
Ted Miller passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 20, 2022. Ted was a dedicated runner from Racine, WI where he excelled in running. Ted was a Racine Area Running Club (RARC) member, RARC Vice President and was dedicated to promoting the benefits of running in the Southeast Wisconsin community. He earned his bachelor's degree from UW-Parkside in Kenosha where he ran track and cross country. He developed his passion for running at a young age earning him 3x Collegiate All American in Track and Field. Ted won the Racine Lighthouse Run 10 Mile Race twice and was inducted into the Racine Lighthouse Run Hall of Fame at age 46. Ted sold running shoes at Merritt’s Running Center which led to a career in the shoe business and spent the last 20 years at the Weyco Group. More than anything, Ted was the ultimate nice guy and family man. To keep the spirit of “Teddy” alive and promote the sport he loved so much, the RARC is hosting the Second Annual Ted Miller Memorial 5K to be held at J.I. Case High School in Racine, WI. Part of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Girls On The Run of Southeastern Wisconsin on the behalf of the Ted Miller family.
