The Greenwich MoRun is returning this November to help raise awareness of men’s mental health issues.

MoRunnings hosts events at 22 locations across the UK and Ireland throughout ‘Movember’.

'Movember' was created because in the UK one man dies every 45 mins from prostate cancer, so the month is dedicated to helping people realise that men are affected by mental health issues and cancer as well.

The Greenwich MoRun will take place on November 25 and will see runners go through Greenwich Park.

Anyone can take part and opt for either a 5k or a 10k, while kids between three and 12 can even do a 1.5k.

Runners are encouraged to don moustaches and run in fancy dress to raise vital funds for men’s health through the Movember Foundation with special 'Mo medals' issued for the best dressed MoRunners at each location.

Early bird tickets are now available via www.mo-running.com.

Dave Krangel, founder of MoRunning, 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.

"We encourage all of our participants to have fun during their run because that’s what it’s about; dressing up, enjoying yourself and crossing the finishing line with a smile on your face."

He added: “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.”

Early bird prices start from £10 for the Mini Mo Run for children, £12 for the virtual MoRun, £16 for the 5k option and £19 for the 10k option.
