[Mo]re Than a Run in Cronulla to Raise Awareness of Men’s Mental Health

Powered by Lululemon, the event aims to raise funds for Movember, breaking down barriers around mental health and creating a lasting impact. 

Runners and walkers will gather in South Cronulla as part of a decentralised event, with participants across the country choosing from a 10-kilometre, 30-kilometre or 60-kilometre run, or opting for a 10, 30, or 60-minute walk at the same time. 

Each distance symbolises critical statistics on men’s mental health: 

• 10-kilometre or 10-minute walk: Honouring the 1 in 10 men living with an anxiety disorder worldwide. 
• 30-kilometre or 30-minute walk: Representing the 30 per cent rise in the number of Australian men dying by suicide over the last decade. 
• 60-kilometre or 60-minute walk: Commemorating the 60 men lost to suicide every hour around the world. 

This year, key figures from the running and wellness community are uniting to bring [Mo]re Than A Run to life in Cronulla. Michael Chapman of Chappo Health & Nutrition, Renee Pilley and Lucy Vaughn from the Lululemon Miranda Store, and Riley Kilham from The Running Company are collaborating to gather the community for this incredible cause. 

In 2023, the wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits of participants, who came together in an inspiring display of solidarity, raising close to $3,000 for Movember. Participants from all walks of life united to run and walk around Cronulla for men’s mental health, finishing at the Cronulla RSL Bowling Green. 

“Over the past four years, this has been a great opportunity for the Sutherland community to move, connect, and create positive impacts and conversations around men’s mental health. We had 345 registrations last year, and we hope to get even more people down there this year,” said Michael Chapman. 

Since its inception, [Mo]re Than A Run has raised over $1.9 million for men’s mental health, making it Movember’s largest community fundraiser to date. This event brings the community together, inviting everyone to participate, connect and engage in life-saving conversations about mental health.
