NOVEMBER 29TH | GASLIGHT DISTRICT | CAMBRIDGE, ON.
One Region. One Community. Moving for Men’s Health.
Whether you're showing up for yourself, someone you love or lost, or simply because you believe in the power of community, you belong here.
WHY WE MOVE
MOvember Sunday Shakeout: Run + Social - Gaslight District, Galt.
Men's mental health matters and too often, the conversations that matter most are the ones we struggle to start.
Movember is working to change that by supporting men's mental health and suicide prevention initiatives, encouraging meaningful connections, and helping men live healthier, happier, longer lives.
At River Rats we believe connection matters. We’ve seen how something as simple as showing up for a run can create friendships, build confidence, and give people a place to belong. We believe one conversation, one connection or one person reaching out makes a meaningful difference.
Let’s build a community where checking in is normal, asking for help is encouraged and nobody feels they need to struggle alone.

BETTER TOGETHER
Good Beer. Great Community. A Cause Worth Raising a Glass to.
Big things happen when local communities come together. We’re proud to partner with Farm League Brewing for the 2026 Movember Shakeout, helping us turn a shared love of community and connection into something meaningful.
They’ve introduced a special edition Shakeout Lager to celebrate community, connection and the importance of Men’s Health. A portion of the proceeds from the beer will go directly to Movember, helping an important cause.
Whether you’re joining us on November 29th or just enjoying a cold one with friends this November, every pint is an opportunity to support the cause, spark a conversation and make a difference.
Hosted by River Rats Run Club, and partnered with Farm League Brewing and Runners’ Choice Waterloo, the Movember Shakeout is more than a run.
It's a community-wide movement dedicated to raising awareness, supporting men's mental health, and reminding the people around us that nobody has to face life's challenges alone.
This event is for everyone.
Men, women, families, friends, runners, walkers, and supporters of all kinds are encouraged to join us. While our cause is men's mental health, creating meaningful change required all of us to join in.
