Welcome

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.

The fun run starts at 11am on Sunday 14th June 2009 at Hampton Pier Avenue, Herne Bay, Kent, we recommend arriving 30 minutes beforehand. 

The event is in aid of Cancer Research UK and it is hoped that each runner will help to raise money for Cancer Research in preventing and curing cancer. 

This is the fifth year we have held this fun run – the inaugural race in 2005 was called Run For Your Life.  The name has been changed to avoid any possible confusion with Race for Life.

The race was conceived by Stephanie Lam, a health professional within the Eastern & Coastal Kent Primary Care Trust, who is a runner herself. 
Whilst events such as Race for Life have increased the awareness of possible cancer risks for women, there has been relatively little in the UK highlighting the corresponding dangers for men.  Man on the Run is trying to address this with a fun, informal summer event.

The race organisers will be assisted by volunteers from the Canterbury Harriers running club.

Entry forms are available online and we hope that you will be able to support us in Herne Bay on Sunday 14th June 2009.
