Why we run.......

Why we run.......

A scenic landscape at sunset featuring rolling hills, green fields, trees, and pink flowers in the foreground, with the sun setting behind distant hills and a partly cloudy sky.

We run to push limits, clear our heads, connect with the outdoors and each other.

Mind Over Moors is built on the belief that nothing supports mental health like getting out there, moving through wild terrain, and sharing the challenge with fellow runners. And that’s why a percentage of every entry will be going to Mental Health Charities It’s not just about miles it’s about you.
