Event Spotlight: The Lululemon Mo-tel

A recovery pool party in the name of men’s mental health? Tell us more!

With the aim to create a unique, magnetic space for connection and conversation following the Annual Budgie Run event for Movember, the Lululemon Mo-tel certainly did not disappoint.

The Budgie Run founded and hosted by Pacific Fair ambassador, Matty Palmer (The 440, Miami) and legacy Ambassador, Anthony Bartolo (ACTV Strength Co) has grown to become a staple event in the Gold Coast wellness community.

‘The idea of running up a hill in your budgies by yourself is tough, but doing it side by side with others makes it achievable; and that’s the point. The intention of the Budgie Run is to remind the men in our community that when times are tough and we are feeling vulnerable we too can get through that with the support of those around us.’

In November 2021, Lululemon jumped on board this incredible community initiative to create a ticket-by-donation post-run recovery experience; The Lululemon Mo-tel, at QT Gold Coast.

It was a stunning Gold Coast day and with exclusive use of The Green and our Poolside Precinct the Lululemon Mo-tel came to life.

With live music, food stations and speeches by Movember and Athlete ambassadors, our sunlit oasis was transformed into the ideal haven for mental and physical health and wellness.

Most importantly, the Lululemon Mo-tel event raised awareness and funds for Movember and men’s health with conversations sparked by coconuts, cocktails and Coco Whip.

This one certainly made a splash and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2022.
