Halifax Movember Run 2020

Welcome to the Movember Run in Halifax! Shake the frost off your Mo and join us for a fun 6km jaunt through Halifax's scenic Point Pleasant Park on a crisp Movember morning. Prizes will go to first male and female finisher, best costume, and fastest male and female with a dog, as well as draw prizes! Register early, as we're capping this event at 100 runners. Meet at 8:15AM at the Shakespeare by the Sea building in the lower parking lot for an 9:00 AM start time.

With COVID-19 a part of our lives we will be aiming for 3 start times this year, as well as a virtual race option. 9 AM for people only wave 1, 9:10 AM for people only wave 2, and and 9:20 AM for people and dogs. That's right we are the original canine friendly race. Race times will be adjusted so everyone is on the same final result list. If Public Health dictates we may spread the start times further apart but will give the runners as much lead time as possible.

We will adjust the race as needed due to COVID-19 restrictions and if the race is cancelled, we will offer refunds minus the processing fee, or you can choose to complete the virtual run. Of course if you are sick or have been travelling we ask that you refrain from coming to the event.

Other COVID-19 changes will include the food and drink at the end of the race being served by a volunteer (no helping yourself this year), social distancing when not running, staying clear until your start wave, wearing a mask if you can't social distance, and the water stop at the turn around will require you to stop and ask for water from the volunteer (no grab and go this year, sorry).

Each Wave will have a maximum of 45 runners, or a total of 100 spots for the whole event.

Note: In severe weather, the city may close the park. If this is the case, we'll send an email by 7:30 that morning and hold the event starting at 10:00 AM on the Rails to Trails trail (start at the Bike and Bean in Tantallon). If for some reason this is not possible, refunds will be issued to those who do not wish to donate their entry fees to Movember.
