Manchester MoRun at Heaton Park
The Manchester MoRun is a series of timed runs at Heaton Park that supports Movember and raises funds and awareness for men's health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. The event hub is located in The Bowl, below the Farm Centre, with parking available around the park (pay and display; best access via St Margaret's Gate, postcode M25 2SW).

The route mixes paths and trail, is undulating, and includes two road crossings. The course is dog friendly and generally ok for buggies though some sections can be bumpy or muddy; it is not suitable for wheelchairs. The 5k is one lap, the 10k two laps, and the half marathon four laps plus an additional 1.1 km section.
Entries receive chip timing, a MoRunning headband and a MoRunning medal. The event provides marked and marshalled routes, water stations, finish-line sweets, medical cover, spot prizes and champion medals. Race packs are collected on the morning of the event at registration; bag storage is available but limited and held under manned gazebos. There is also a virtual participation option with medal posted to the runner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
