About the race
MoRunning in Manchester stages a set of timed runs around Heaton Park with options for adults and children. The event supports Movember and raises awareness for men’s health, including prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
Distances offered:
- 1.5 km Mini MoRun for children.
- 5 km MoRun (one lap).
- 10 km MoRun (two laps).
- Half marathon MoRun (four laps plus an additional 1.1 km section).
The route mixes paved paths and trail, is undulating, dog friendly and generally OK for buggies 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. Runners are asked to keep left unless otherwise guided; marshals are positioned around the course and the route is marked.
Participants receive a race number with chip timing, an event headband and a MoRunning medal. Mini MoRunners receive a Mini Mo medal, chip timing and finish-line treats. The event offers water stations, finish-line sweets, medical cover, trophies or special medals for winners and spot prizes for categories such as best dressed and fastest Mo. The event hub is located in the bowl at Heaton Park, M25 2SW, with on-site parking available via St Margaret's Gate using pay and display.
