Event overview
The Teddy Bear Trot takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Eight-Twenty at the Mills, 820 Knitting Mills Way, Wyomissing, PA. This is the event's eighth annual running. It is organized as a social group run rather than a timed race. The route is described as a 3 mile fun run. Participants are asked to bring a brand new teddy bear for donation. Runners and walkers will be assigned to three departure groups based on pace ranges: 13+ minute milers, 10-12 minute milers, and 8-10 minute milers.
