You will receive your free MoRunning Headband in your race pack, so make sure to put it on before the race.

Please make sure that your Bib race number is fully visible on the outside.

Am I allowed to wear headphones?

Headphones are allowed, but you must make sure that you are aware of your surroundings and are able to hear instructions from marshals and fellow runners.

This is a great family event, with lots of silly fancy dress and groovy music, so it will be great fun to come and watch. You're more than welcome to come along and cheer your friends and family around the course. There's also a strong charitable focus, so the more support the better.

Can I volunteer or marshal at the event?

If you are not able to take part in this year's races but would still like to take part in the event by volunteering or marshalling, you would be hugely welcome. There are plenty of roles available, and volunteers tend to work from 8am-12pm. In return, you will receive snacks, drinks, and free entry to a future event. If you would like to volunteer, please email [email protected]

What are the age restrictions?

Children are permitted to run in any of the events, as long as their parent/guardian is confident that they are able to finish the course. Parents/guardians must be responsible for their children at all times.

The Mini Mo event is restricted to younger children aged 3-12.

Will there be toilets?

Yes, toilets will be available by the event hub.

Is there anywhere I can leave my bags?

Yes, a bag storage area is located by the registration area. However, space is very limited so please pack lightly. The bag storage gazebos will always be attended, but it is not recommended to bring anything valuable.

Am I allowed to run with my dog?

Dogs are permitted on course, provided they are on leads. Please be aware of your fellow runners and be careful around the course.

Where do I get my race day photos?

Photos from the event will be available to view and purchase one or two days after the event. You must enter your name and race number, so please make sure your race number is visible during the race. If your number is visible, you are guaranteed at least two photographs of you running on the day.

Do I need to fundraise for the Movember Foundation?

Fundraising is not compulsory, but anything you can raise would make a big difference. When you enter, you have the option of making a donation. You can fundraise for any charity of your choice.
