I’ve just received an e-mail announcing that entries for the 2008 Men’s Health Forum Scotland (MHFS) 10k run are open with a nice discount for early entrants (and maybe some low-number prestige, or is that just me ;-).
It takes place on June 15th 2008 (That’s Fathers Day!), in Bellahouston Park, and it is apparently the only 10k race specifically for men in the UK, so it’s quite special. They’re hoping to attract around 3,500 men this year.
I ran the race last year, and was pleased as punch to have run it in 53:56 (under my target of 55m). With this weekends 10k time 9 minutes faster than that, at 45:01, it’ll be the first time I’ve run the same race since taking up running, so a great way of seeing how I’ve improved over the course of a year.
The event is also a brilliant way to bringing men’s health issues to public attention. More on the goals of MHFS at their website.
