The Tely 10 Mile Road Race is Newfoundland and Labrador’s main ten-mile road race, running from Paradise into St. John’s. It begins in the morning and attracts several thousand participants, with road closures, baggage buses, medical support, timing rules, and a time limit giving it the feel of a serious community race rather than a casual fun run.
The point-to-point course concludes at Bannerman Park in the heart of St. John’s, so runners move from the edge of the metro area toward one of the city’s familiar public spaces. The race has a long history, with past results, champions, records, rankings, wheelchair rankings, commemorative pins, and a race history all maintained by the organizers. Training schedules are provided for beginners, walkers, intermediate runners, and individuals aiming to complete the distance.
