The MoRun events proudly support Movember, the only charity tackling men's health on a global scale, year round.
The course takes you around the beautiful setting of Exhibition Park. This is a mixed route between tarmac/road running and off-road paths. The course is generally flat, so it is fine for buggy running, although there are some bumpy sections. It is not suitable for wheelchairs.
When you are finishing, keep to the left otherwise you will be heading for another lap.
