Bristol Mo Run - 12th MO-vember 2016
Posted on: 28 Sep 2016Movember, the month formerly known as November, isn’t far away and spaces on Saturday November 12th’s Bristol Mo Run are filling up quickly. It’s all for a wonderful cause so get involved!
Taking place at the picturesque Ashton Court mansion, there is a choice of a 5km or 10km route. Male or female, experienced runner or not, everyone is invited to get involved in this great and sociable event. Fancy dress is very much encouraged – there are even Legends and Superhero medals for the best fancy dress – and moustaches can either be grown, stuck or drawn on!
Besides the quite awesome looking medal you saw at the top of the page, all entrants will receive a timing chip and instant race results, a MoRunning headband, drinks and snacks, magazines, a free trial with British Military Fitness, photos you can download and more besides. If you’re new to fundraising then here’s a quick blog guide from Mo Running themselves to give you a few hints and tips.
MoRunning are supporting Movember, the charity with the ethos - ‘Stopping Men Dying Too Young’. They tackle men’s health on a global scale, year round. Their incredible work tackles some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. You can find out more over at uk.movember.com
Whether it’s on your own, with a mate or family member, an office or any other group, just know that you will be doing something great for so many people. You’ll also have a great time yourself so what’s not to love? To give you an idea of what a great even you’ll be signing up for, here’s the MoRun mantra...
---To be a MoRunner means you are part of something bigger than yourself! You’re part of a community, a family, a team.When you step up to that start line at your MoRun, look to your left, look to your right, and remember friends are all around you!
So whether there’s a MoBro with a funny moustache, or maybe a MoSista that’s painted one on, or even someone dressed up as a superhero, give them a smile, shake their hand, give them a high five and just remember we are all in it together. Run hard, run fast, have fun and enjoy being part of something special!
To you the MoRunner, we clap for you, we shout at you, we support you, maybe even laugh at you (all in good humour of course) and we praise you for your commitment to the MoRunning community and the difference you make to supporting such a great cause.---
