Race Preview: The Mustache Dache Portland 2016

The National Mustache Dache arrives in Portland on November 12. You have just enough time to grow a mustache, groom your current 'stache, or buy a fake one for this hairy 5K. So, what's the deal with the mustache? This national event has a charitable focus: Our 2016 national charity, Movember, is the only global charity focused solely on men's health. The Foundation wants to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives through investing in these critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health & suicide prevention. Since 2003, they've empowered millions of men and women to join the global men's health movement. Through the mustaches grown and the conversations generated, we've raised over $710M and helped fund 1,200 breakthrough men's health projects in 21 countries.

What do you get when you participate in this manly event? A Mustache Dache gender specific t-shirt (if registered at least 10 days in advance), 2 adult beverages (a Cuervo Gold Margarita and a Widmer beer) – ages 21 and over, a Mustache Dache finisher medal, and a mustache consultation from local barbers. While, I’m not quite sure what a mustache consultation is, perhaps it will help those of you working on growing a stellar ‘stache.

This 5K starts and finishes at Big Al’s in Beaverton, where the after party will also be held. Post-race festivities include a photo booth, food, costume contest, and more. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in the following age groups:  • No Mustache Growers (12 & Under) • Angst-filled (13-17) • “Mature” (18-39) • Mid-Life Crisis (40-59) • AARPwesome (60+)

If you can’t make it to the Portland event, there are several other Mustache Daches not too far away. Seattle’s race is on November 6 or you can take your mustache to Corvallis on December 3. See all locations here.
