Movember 2020

The grow a Mo’ part of Movember is well known, but a large part of Movember includes a MOVE element. Obviously, we love seeing the attempts at growing a moustache coming into the gym or a class but we’re big advocates of moving as much as possible.
Globally, one man takes his own life every minute, of every day. This Movember, the foundation are asking people to commit to walking or running 60 kilometres (km) over the month of November. 60km for the 60 men lost each hour, every hour, every day. Collectively at the University of Portsmouth, we want to go one better and complete a challenge of moving almost 60,000km in November. Starting and finishing in Portsmouth, along with Team UOP we’ll be going global travelling to cities across the world spelling Movember in the process, but we’re going to add cycling into the mix to ramp up the distance.
