Run or Walk 60km This November

Looking for a meaningful way to stay active this November? The global Movember Move challenge is open to everyone, including KOI students. Commit to running or walking 60 kilometers throughout the month while raising funds and awareness for mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Seasoned runner? Daily walker? Everyone’s welcome. This is your opportunity to get active, support an important cause, and connect with a worldwide community dedicated to changing the face of men’s health.

What is Movember Move?

Move is a Movember challenge where participants commit to running or walking 60 kilometers over the month of November. The distance represents the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour around the world.

The funds raised support game-changing men’s health projects focused on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Why 60km?

The 60 kilometers carries powerful meaning: 60 men die by suicide every hour globally. By completing this distance throughout November, you’re raising awareness and funds to help change these devastating numbers.
