MHFS 10k for Men
The third MHFS 10k for Men 2008 took place on Sunday 15th June, father's day, at Glasgow's Bellahouston Park. The day was a great success with men of all ages and abilities taking part. Well done and thanks to all the runners who took part on Sunday!
The 10k for Men provides a major focus for NMHW and brings together men from across Scotland and beyond and we hope that this will be a major annual date for both men’s health and running in Scotland. For more information about the 10k for Men, click on the link below:
