Well Melbourne MoRunners. We want to give you an update on MoRunning in your city.
It looks like there won’t be any MoRunning for you in 2011. We were all set to bring the event back to you and after securing Sunday the 20th November at Albert Park we had high hopes for building on the success of last year.
We expected a great turn-out with a lot of fantastic costumes, moustaches and runners generally being part of a great fun run supporting a great cause.
Unfortunately due to the City2Sea event taking place and Movember teaming up with them there has been issues from these parties about us putting on our MoRun.
We are a completely independent company and MoRunning is our creation. Our concept is different from the above event which is taking place the week before as well as being a 14km run. Although we feel we could still put the event on without impacting the City2Sea event and not only that, as we cover all our own costs without funding, we also commit a percentage of the entry fee to the charity so their is no loss for them whatsoever. However we have been asked by Movember not to run it this year. It has been an extremely tough decision to make and letting down so many MoRunners really upsets us.
Please stay with us, keep supporting MoRunning as we are not giving up on you and want you to be part of our community! We would welcome your thoughts and if you believe MoRunning should take place in Melbourne we would love to hear from you.

Thanks for your support.

That’s such a shame! I was hoping to do the City2Sea and the Mo Run!
Friends who don’t want to do the 14km City2Sea were hoping to do the Mo Run instead – that’s their training mo-tivation gone!
Good luck with the rest of your runs!
That’s really disappointing. The Mo Running team put on a fab run last year – great organisation and so much fun! Don’t know why we haven’t had one here before.
Good on you guys for bringing the idea to Melbourne.
To me – and a lot of friends – 14km isn’t a fun-run – it’s for pro’s, and a little too exclusive for us hacks who turn up mainly to support the charity.
Hope you guys get the support to do it next year.
