The Newcastle 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Half Marathon MoRun 2026

The Newcastle MoRun takes place on a November morning on The Town Moor, centered on Exhibition Park. It starts at 09:30 and offers four distances: 1.5k, 5k, 10k, and half marathon. The 1.5k Mini MoRun is for children, while the longer races provide options for adults and older runners, ranging from a short park run-style distance to a half marathon. This event is part of the MoRunning series, described by organizers as the largest running event series supporting Movember and men’s health. The event focuses on Movember alongside the running. Entries help raise awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants can donate or create a fundraising page during registration. The event is designed for everyday runners, families, children, friends, first-timers, and those seeking a timed result, with chip timing provided for all races. All finishers get a MoRunning medal and headband. The day embraces the moustache theme with additional medals for the fastest MoBro and MoSista, best dressed, and best Mo, along with spot prizes for “Legends of MoRunning.” The setup includes drinks, treats, merchandise, and reward points for future events.
