Bonum Cursum

Bieg z Wąsem (The Run with a Moustache) is a unique initiative created by the Fizjobiegacze Szczecin team, for whom movement and an active lifestyle are key elements of good health and prevention. The idea behind this event is simple but powerful. It aims to promote awareness about men’s health and to reduce the risk of cancer through physical activity.

Once a year, traditionally in November, runners from all over the region gather to take part in this special event, proudly wearing characteristic moustaches. Hundreds of participants, regardless of age or gender, join the fun, showing off their creative costumes and cheerful energy. It is more than just a race. It is a joyful celebration and a community effort to raise awareness about health and prevention.

Bieg z Wąsem is part of the global Movember movement, which encourages men to talk openly about their health and to take preventive actions against diseases such as prostate and testicular cancer. Since 2019, the Fizjosport.org Association has been cooperating with the Nie Warto Foundation, offering free medical check-ups for men, including testicular ultrasound and PSA tests for prostate cancer.

Over the years, more than 2,600 participants have taken part in Bieg z Wąsem, which is a remarkable sign of how much can be achieved when people come together for a meaningful cause. This event proves that running can be more than sport. It can be a way to inspire, educate, and support the health and well-being of the whole community.

PS: Since we are talking about health and celebrating life, today is my birthday! 🥳 I haven’t had many chances to celebrate it before, mostly because of work, so this time it’s a perfect occasion. Later, I’ll spend time with my family. I can’t believe how fast time has flown, and now I’m approaching 40, stepping closer with big strides, but at least with a smile! 😄
