Run And Raise Awareness For Men's Health This Sunday At This Beardo-Thon

What Is It?

The Bangalore Beard Club and Mumbai Runners have organised the Beardo-Thon, apparently India’s first ever marathon to create awareness for men’s health. The event is being powered by men’s grooming accessories and skincare brand Beardo. The objective of Movember is to let your hair grow freely and to create awareness about cancer and help save lives and aid in cancer research. So why don’t we all do our bit and participate in this marathon to create awareness to save our fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, husbands and friends.

Who Is It For?

The run is for men and women alike. The runs are happening on the November 19 in Bangalore and November 26 in Mumbai. You can either run in the 5K or the 10K category. All you have to do is register, and then you’re in for the run happening at Cubbon Park this Sunday. So you’re doing both at once, you’re running for a good cause and you’re also keeping fit because you’re running. Both the races are untimed, so this is purely for the awareness and we’re all winners here.

Why Should I Go For It?

Well, if you’re part of the No-Shave November movement/Movember, then this is what you’re really doing it for. To support men and men’s health. You’re keeping the beard growing strong and long and throwing the razor away, as a symbol of support and awareness for cancer. Ladies, you can pitch in too by showing your support and being a part of this run as well!
