Last year more than 1,000 Milton Keynes runners donned fancy dress and dug deep to help raise awareness and funds for Movember, and the MoRunning event will return this November.
Hosted at Campbell Park on Sunday November 20, MoRunning is calling on the new city to rock everything and anything from a moustache to a whacky wig and get involved with its 2016 fun run.
Now in its eighth year, MoRunning has also announced Mr. Motivator as its 2016 Ambassador, who will help to motivate thousands of runners across Milton Keynes ahead of the 5k and 10k runs.
“To be a MoRunner means you are part of something bigger than yourself, you’re part of a community, a family and a team,” says Dave Krangel, founder of MoRunning.
“We encourage all of our participants to have fun during their run because that’s what we’re all about; dressing up, enjoying yourself and crossing the finishing line with a smile. We even have prizes for the best dressed MoRunner.
“All abilities are welcome – and for those that need a little helping hand, we’ve recruited the support of Mr. Motivator to motivate our MoRunners ahead of the race.
“As our Brand Ambassador, Mr. Motivator is a fun and popular addition to our team, who has found a really unique way to promote health and fitness. He is all about not being afraid to join in and be a bit silly – and that’s what we’re passionate about too.”
Mr. Motivator is thrilled to be on board, and is looking forward to whipping up encouragement: “I am so excited to be playing a role in this year’s MoRunning.
“It is a great opportunity to get dressed up in fancy dress and have fun, but beyond this, there is the chance to raise awareness about men’s health, whether this is mental or physical,” he said.
“I hope to motivate as many people as I can, to not only have fun with this challenge, but to also raise as much money and awareness as possible!”
