Movember is proud to be an official charity partner for some of the world’s major marathons and events.
These events draw the most elite runners. Demand is high and getting a place can be difficult. That's why representing Movember at a marathon is great way to secure a spot. Participants who are selected will pledge to fundraise a minimum amount. In turn, you're guaranteed entry in some of the world’s most prestigious marathons.
Of course, if 26.2 miles is a bit much, you can instead test your mettle at a Spartan Race. These are shorter races, full of challenging and oh-so-fun obstacles to keeps things exciting.
