1 to 30 November 2026 · checked 25 Oct 2026
Movember runs through the month of November (1 to 30 November 2026). Its Move challenge asks you to run or walk 60 km over the month, in one go or spread out, and Movember says the 60 stands for the 60 men lost to suicide worldwide every hour. You can join solo online, then find people to move with: a walk, a run club, a community event or a coffee.
A plain guide to the four ways Movember says you can take part, practical ideas for doing it when you are new in a city or on your own, and a careful note on talking about mental health. No specific 2026 local event is listed here: they are set up by the people who host them.
| Way | What Movember says | Going alone? |
|---|---|---|
| Grow | Grow a moustache and use it to start conversations about men’s health. | A moustache is a conversation opener: people ask, you answer. |
| Move | Run or walk 60 km over the month of November. Cover the distance in one go or over the month. | About 2 km a day. Sign up online or in the Movember app, then choose Move. |
| Host | Host an event: a golf tournament, a Mustache Bash or a group workout. | Invite two or three new acquaintances to a short walk or a coffee. |
| Mo Your Own Way | Do what works for you: Movember invites its own wildcard ideas. | Pick something you can do alone or with one other person. |
From Movember’s own pages, checked 25 Oct 2026. Some country sites word Move differently: the US page says 60 miles and adds riding and swimming. Check the page for your country before you set a target.
What we found
Low pressure and flexible. Take what suits you.
You do not need a big plan. Choose one weekend morning, a route that is easy to talk on, and invite one or two people. Meet & Mint shows events and people near you on one map, so you can join something in your city alone, chat with the group beforehand and meet at the door. Come Alone lists evening events by city if you want a plan that is not about running.
This page is general information, not medical or professional advice. Movember describes itself as a men’s health movement that funds work in mental health and suicide prevention. If you or someone close to you is struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or to a local crisis line or support service. If someone may be in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. Movember’s Get support page lists services by country. We do not list phone numbers here because they differ by country and change.
Sources
Checked 25 Oct 2026 on Movember’s own pages. Movember describes Move as running or walking 60 km “over the month of November” and gives no day numbers, so 1 to 30 November is the calendar month. The US page words Move as 60 miles and adds riding and swimming, so we say to check your country’s page. We list no specific 2026 local event, address or time, and no phone numbers.
How it works
Movember takes place over the month of November, so 1 to 30 November 2026.
Movember’s Move challenge asks you to run or walk 60 km over the month, in one go or spread over the month. Movember says it is how it remembers the 60 men lost to suicide worldwide every hour. Some country pages word it differently, so check yours.
Sign up online or in the Movember app and choose Move, then ask someone new to walk with you, join a local run or walking club, or look for a community event. Come Alone and Meet & Mint can help you find people near you.
No. Movember says you can grow a moustache, take the Move challenge, host an event or do what works for you.
Keep it simple: ask how they are, listen, and say you are glad to be there. You are not expected to fix anything. If they are struggling, point them to a local crisis line or support service, and call your local emergency number if someone may be in immediate danger.
