Run for Moore is a series of men-only events which take place annually in the UK, in aid of British charity Cancer Research UK's Bobby Moore Fund. The events involve running, jogging or walking a 5-kilometre course and participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship from friends and family for doing so.
