Run for Moore

Although participation is limited to men,[1] women can get involved by volunteering and marshalling at the event.

[2] The events involved running, jogging or walking a 5-kilometre course and participants were encouraged to raise sponsorship from friends and family for doing so.

[3] The 5K Run for Moore was established in 2006 after the Equal Opportunity Commission wrote to Cancer Research UK, further to an opinion that the female only Race for Life breached Section 29 of The 1975 Sex Discrimination Act, that stated it was illegal to discriminate in the provision of Goods, Facilities and Services.

[5] In 2009, the run was consolidated into a single event, which took place on Blackheath Common, London, and which had over 1700 participants.

Instead, Bobby Moore Fund supporters were invited to take part in one of the charity's 5K runs.
