Hey Melbourne MO Runners! Please find full race day details below!!

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.

THE 5k and 10K MO RUN!!

The run will kick off at 9.30am for both the 5k and 10k and will take you around Albert Park. Please note for the 5k it is one lap of the Park and the 10k is two laps. Please note after coming round past the 4k mark and for then also the 9k mark you need to cross a small road (Aqautic Drive) This is very quiet but you must slow down and be aware of traffic. If necessary you will have to stop. Marshals will be here to control this section to ensure your safety but please be aware and prepared to slow down and stop only if necessary. It’s unlikely but we obviously want to look after you Mo Bro’s and Sista’s!

5k runners, please remember after coming round the park you turn left heading to the finish whereas the 10k runners you continue straight for another lap and after your second time around you then turn left in to the finish!

We will start gathering you in to the start area at 9.20am. We will have some funky tunes playing to get you in the Mo Running spirit!

There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.

Please check out the course map! HERE’S THE LINK. Please be very careful when running around the course as this area is still used by the public. Always stay on the left unless otherwise stated. We will have marshals around the course to support and encourage you. Remember health and safety is paramount. Enjoy, have fun and go the Mo!

Please note placings are based on Gun time. ie from when the race starts, 9.30am. However you will also receive your chip time which is your actual race time.

Drinks and fruit will be available at the finish line.

AFTER THE EVENT

Everyone will receive a very cool MO Running medal and there are also a few trophies that are up for grabs! And some great prizes as well for best dressed, fastest Mo and many more.
