Manchester MoRun (Heaton Park)
The Manchester MoRun is a community running event at Heaton Park, The Bowl, M25 2SW, that supports Movember. The event offers multiple race distances with chip timing and on-course marshals.
Distances
- 1.5 km Mini MoRun, fully race chipped
- 5 km MoRun, one lap of the main course
- 10 km MoRun, two laps of the main course
- Half marathon MoRun, four laps plus an additional 1.1 km section
The route mixes paved paths and trail sections, and is described as undulating. It is dog friendly and generally suitable for buggy running, though some sections can be bumpy or muddy. The course is not suitable for wheelchairs and includes two road crossings where extra care is required.
Included for participants are full race chip timing, an event headband, event medal, water and finish-line sweets, marked and marshalled course, medical cover, and spot prizes or trophies for winners and special categories such as best dressed. Event facilities include an event hub in the bowl, toilets, limited bag storage under manned gazebos, and on-site parking via St Margaret’s Gate (pay and display).
The event supports Movember, raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Results show both gun time and net time, and official placings are based on gun time. Merchandise and fundraising options are available as part of the event experience.
