Men's Movement Monday; The aim of these sessions is to create a safe, non-judgemental and non-competitive space that helps men with their mental health and physical wellbeing. This being through the simple acts of getting out for some physical activity in nature and chatting to/connecting with others.

It’s open to anyone, who identifies as a male, be happy to jog or walk the above distances, not be fussed about getting your shoes a bit dirty if it's been wet! 

Initially these sessions are being held monthly.

How it develops will be very much informed by the wants and needs of the men who getting involved.

It’s important to stress though; that having a good level of physical fitness is not a condition of entry.

We’re just as keen to support those who are only beginning to think about getting into better shape.

​

GUIDED WALKS AND JOGS

These sessions will be led by our experienced leaders and are suitable for those with little or no prior experience of jogging or walking in the countryside.

If you’re capable of completing a parkrun (5k) mostly jogging, you’ll be fine on any of the activities.

If you’re not quite there yet, we recommend you join a guided walk first.

As with our Trail Therapy activities, the focus on all of these sessions will be on enjoying the surroundings and each others company, rather than speed. ​

How to take part / book your place

Anyone is welcome to join these sessions and they are all free of charge. People can self-refer or be referred by a social prescribing link worker or support organisation. Booking your place is required and can be done by finding the guided session / workshop from the list below that you would like to attend and following the booking process. 

You'll have the option to make a donation if you'd like to; any donations made will go to Peak Running CIC, enabling us to continue projects - such as this one - in local communities. ​

Children and Dogs

These activities are largely aimed at adults, but younger people can be accommodated as follows:​

• For walking activities, we can allow younger people that are capable of walking the distance unaided, but they must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian throughout the activity.

• For all activities we can accommodate a maximum of 2 children per parent/guardian.

Dogs - We can only take dogs by prior arrangement, and will often have to turn requests down. This is not because we don't like dogs (we love them!), it's simply because dogs can become a hazard, particularly if routes go close to farm animals, and they can cause stress to other participants who are nervous around dogs.
