**MoRunning has announced Mr Motivator as its ambassador.**

MoRunning launched in 2009 to help the Movember Foundation boost its fundraising
alongside its annual Movember event, and saw over 16,000 runners take part in fun
runs across the country. The event asks people to put on fancy dress and a moustache
and take part in 5k or 10k runs, and to either donate when they enter, or to set
up a JustGiving page and fundraise.

The races take place in November, with 17 scheduled for this year across the country,
including Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
