Whitstable & Herne Bay MoRun
The event is a seaside running event at Hampton Pier Recreation Ground, Herne Bay CT6 8EJ that supports Movember and men's health causes. It offers chip timed distances and a separate children’s race, with on-course marshals and a marked route along the seafront.
Distances offered:
- 1.5 km Mini MoRun, chip timed for children
- 5 km MoRun, out-and-back with a marked turn
- 10 km MoRun, out-and-back with a marked turn
- Half marathon, which follows the 10k out-and-back section twice after an initial 1.1 km loop
Course surface is predominantly a hard seafront path with a grass village hub. The route is dog friendly and generally suitable for pushchairs though some sections are narrow. Runners are asked to stay on the left unless marshals give other instructions.
Participants receive a race bib with chip timing, a finisher medal and a MoRunning headband. Mini MoRunners receive a Mini Mo medal, chip timing and refreshments. Additional items at the event include water, sweets at the finish, prize medals for categories such as best dressed and fastest moustache, and event merchandise for purchase.
Event services include a manned bag storage area with limited space, toilets at the event hub, a warm up with music and instant timing results. Parking near the hub is limited; there is a free public car park on Swalecliffe Avenue opposite the hub. Fundraising and donations for Movember are encouraged during registration.
