About the race
The event is a running event held at Hampton Pier Recreation Ground in Whitstable and Herne Bay (CT6 8EJ). It offers four chip-timed distances: a 1.5k Mini MoRun, a 5k MoRun, a 10k MoRun, and a Half Marathon MoRun. The event supports the Movember charity, which focuses on men's health, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants receive a finisher's medal, a headband, a chip-timed result, and access to post-run drinks and snacks.
Additional bonus medals are awarded for categories like fastest runner and best dressed. A fancy dress competition is held before the runs. The course is along the seafront and is predominantly on hard surfaces, with some grassy sections in the event hub; it is described as dog-friendly and suitable for buggies, though some parts can be narrow. Parking at the venue is very limited, and participants are advised to park further away and arrive early.
Registration opens at 8 am and closes 10 minutes before each race start. Bag storage is provided but space is limited. The event schedule lists start times for the different distances: Half Marathon at 9:30 am, 10k at 9:55 am, 5k at 10:05 am, and the Mini MoRun at 11:30 am.
