Whether you're rocking the stache or staying smooth, join the fight for men's health! If growing's not your thing, show up with 60kms of movement through the month of November instead. Let's make it a Mo-ment to remember!
The Great Shave Off
Start fresh, grow bold, shave proud.

1:00pm - Clear the canvas and kick-off Movember clean-shaven
All November: Grow your mo, show your mo, love your mo
Monday, 1 December: The Great Shave Off part two
1:00pm - Mo more! Say goodbye to your mo at the Final Shave Off
Register here and join us live at the Village Green!
Move for Movember
This Movember, we're getting moving for men's health! Join us for our Move for Movember events where you can run, walk, or stroll your way to 5km - moustache and all.
We'll be hitting the University 5km course for those keen to go the distance. For a more relaxed option, our lunchtime session will feature a shorter route past the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts (GAPA) and around the field.
Grab your trainers, throw on a mo (real or fake), and come move with us to support Movember!
Lunchtime session:
Wednesday, 12 November - 1:00pm
Village Green
Morning session:
Wednesday, 19 November - 6:30am
