It’s time MO Runners and we hope you are rearing to go on Sunday the 27th of Movember!
Don’t forget to come with your Mo!!! Grow it, flow it and sculpt the most aerodynamic mo you can, and get limber in some 70’s funky track threads. Mo Sista’s (ladies who support their men, or just love Mo’s) we need you too! You can draw on a Mo if you like, or just get suited up in some fancy dress and jog it out to change the face of men’s health. We look forward to seeing you for lots of fun and laughs along the way, followed by a MO Running Award ceremony where there will be prizes for craziest costume, fastest Mo, and heaps more.
