MND Scotland Fun Run – Strathclyde
Our annual Fun Run at Strathclyde Park is back for another year!
Join hundreds of other runners, walkers and joggers taking part in our biggest event of the year to raise money to fight Motor Neurone Disease.
Entry is just £10 in advance (£12 on the day), and it’s free for MND Scotland members, those with MND and under 16s. Choose from a 4 mile or 6 mile route, both starting at 11am.
We place the emphasis very much on this being a fun event – great for groups of friends, colleagues and families. We encourage fancy dress and you can also bring your dog!
There’ll be refreshments, entertainment, home baking and face painting… and hopefully a huge amount of money raised to fight MND.
