Men's 10K

The Men's 10K is held every year on the last day of National Men's Health Week, which is also Fathers Day.
 
The first MHFS 10K for Men was held in June 2006, and we are now in the process of organising the 7th annual event for 17th June 2012.  The event will be held at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow and starts at 10 am. 

Background:

The MHFS 10K for Men was established in 2006 as a way of engaging men in Scotland in healthy physical activity and promoting health and wellbeing all year round.

The 10k for Men has proven to be an excellent fundraising vessel for local, national and international charities, with an estimated £400,000 raised through the event in 2011.

The Glasgow-based event falls on Father’s Day every year, which is the culmination of National Men’s Health Week, an international awareness week, promoting men’s health and wellbeing worldwide.

Having just completed its 6th year, the event is continuing to grow and has become a major event on both running and health events calendars, now attracting 4000 men and growing each year! The next 10k for Men is due to be held on Sunday 17th June 2012, 10am at Bellhouston Park, Glasgow. Registration will open in January 2012.

The fastest way to register for the run is online at runglasgow.org alternatively you can contact Quarriers events team and we can send you a registration form.  We can provide a Quarriers running pack which helps you prepare for the run.  The pack contains running tips, fundraising tips, a Quarriers T-shirt and information on the vital difference your donations make.  To receive your pack please contact Jen or Bryan on 01505 610017.

Consistently, each year, around 40% of the men taking part have never entered any 10k before, we intentionally promote the event to men who are new to physical activity or have been inactive for a while. At the same time, we also attract established club runners and the event crossed both sectors extremely neatly, we receive feedback to support this from both new and seasoned runners alike.
