Man On The Run 5K To Support ‘Movember’
New to the racing calendar this year, the Man on the Run is a 5K running and walking event for men and boys that has been devised to raise awareness of male cancers, particularly prostate cancer.
The event is in aid of the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre and it is hoped that each runner will help to raise money for their Men’s Health Programmes, providing men with access to health care that they otherwise may not seek or be able to afford.
The Man on the Run 5K takes place this Sunday, November 10 at 8.30am, with the start and finish of the race held at Warwick Academy.
Men can register online, with number pick up being held at the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre at 46 Point Finger Road between 9.30am and 12.30pm on Saturday, November 9.
The Man on the Run 5K event was conceived by volunteer Clifford S. Roberts Jr, an avid runner and cyclist himself.
“Prostate cancer is not something men like to talk about, but bringing men together for an event like this will encourage natural conversations about the importance of early detection in saving lives!“ said Mr. Roberts.
Cliff, mother and I are so proud of you and are glad to see that your idea will now be a reality this weekend. We wish you much success!
