The time is fast approaching for Kiwi men to throw away their razors and embrace the mo for a great cause - Movember is on its way!

This year Bachelor star and entrepreneur Art Green has teamed up with champion Marathon Runner and Running Coach, Lydia O’Donnell.  The pair will be competing in the New York Marathon, raising funds and awareness for Movember.

Wednesday the 1^st of August marked the first day of Art and Lydia’s Movember Run Club to train for the marathon.

They are inviting all Aucklanders to head to the Auckland Domain and get involved to join the fight by getting active and going the distance to support men’s health.

Movember Run Club’s goal is to run the distance between New Zealand and New York before the Marathon, with runners of all abilities submitting their training kms in support of Art, Lydia and the cause.
