Runners complete the Exeter MoRuns

Hundreds of runners turned up at River Valley Park on Saturday morning to take on the Exeter 1.5k, 5k and 10k MoRuns, in a bid to raise awareness and funds for men’s health.

Many took part wearing fancy dress and donning moustaches to show their support for the Movember Foundation, the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale.

Since its inception in 2010, MoRunning events have raised just shy of £1 million for The Movember Foundation, to address some of the biggest health issues faced by men including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

Commenting on the event Dave Krangel, Founder of MoRunning, said: “We have now reached the half way point of our 22 MoRun events throughout the month of Movember! Six events last weekend and a further seven MoRuns across six regions this weekend.

“The turnout from both runners and supporters has been amazing to see. Everyone here is raising awareness and funds for men’s health, which is at the heart of MoRunning.”
