Great strides for men’s health

If you’d like to try something a little more taxing than growing a moustache for Movember, then get Morunning! Moruns, which aim to raise awareness of men’s health issues and raise funds for the Movember Foundation, will be held across the country this weekend, with the first Whitstable Morun taking place on Sunday, November 25.

The Whitstable Morun will see runners go through Hampton Pier.

Morunning events are for all abilities and ages, with a 5k option for fun runners and a 10k option for those looking for a challenge. There is also a 1.5k Mini Mo run for children between three and 12 years.

Now in its ninth year, 20,000 male and female runners are expected to take part in the Moruns taking place up and down the country. Runners are encouraged to don moustaches and run in fancy dress, with special Mo medals issued for the best dressed runners.

Founder Dave Krangel said: “To be a Morunner means you are part of something bigger than yourself, you’re part of a community, a family and a team. “There’s also a serious message though, the runs will be great fun for all the family, but we will be raising plenty of money and awareness of men’s health issues at the same time.” Runners can either run solo or enter as part of a team.
