116. More Than A Run - Running for Mental Health

43 minutes

116. More Than A Run - Running for Mental Health We were We were lucky enough to have the two ‘[mo]re than a run’ Founders on today Alex Bell and Olly Woolrych to chat about what’s going down this Movemeber. It was a chat about men’s mental health, the power of running community, starting conversations and making real impact. We loved having the boys on!

We learnt all about the origins of this community lead initiative, the power of like minded runners coming together and how we can get involved. Olly and Alex believe running can be a vehicle for extraordinary positive change, whether that's improving mental health, starting conversations, as well as, raising awareness and funds for both mental health and suicide prevention.

‘[mo]re than a run’ is a decentralised running event that brings together running clubs all over Australia and NZ to chat about mental health, foster deep connection and raise funds for Movember.

Alex and Olly have a vision to unite and elevate the running community globally, harnessing our shared love for running to empower participants and support mental health.

Over the last two years ‘[mo]re then a run’ has raised over 1.4million for Movemeber, with over 4000 participants and over 300 run clubs. It’s incredible to see what happens when us runners get together for a meaningful cause.
