A running event is coming to Aberdeen to help raise awareness of men’s health issues.

The Aberdeen MoRun will take place on November 3 and will see runners go through Hazelhead Park.

MoRunning have announced they will host MoRuns at 22 different locations across the UK and Ireland throughout the month of “Movember” including in Aberdeen, to help raise awareness of men’s health issues and to raise vital funds for the Movember Foundation.

Runners are encouraged to wear moustaches and run in fancy dress – with special “Mo medals” to be given to the best dressed runners.

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’ health issues at the same time.”

Runners can either run solo or enter as part of a team.

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.

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