Men’s Day Out

It’s an unmissable mix of miles, mates, memories and it’s back with a twist for 2025! Grab your mates, join the mass of big-hearted men marching through Plymouth on Saturday 22 March and make a massive difference to families in your local community who need the compassionate, expert care St Luke’s provides at the toughest of times. Discover a special bond with friends old and new as you stride our scenic 12km (7.5 mile) route along the waterfront and through the city. Once again, you’ll start at Plymouth Albion rugby ground but this year, to shake things up a bit, you’ll be tackling the circuit in reverse! Winding up back at Albion, you’ll be ready to tuck into a well-earned hot dog, enjoy a welcome beverage and cheer on the local boys in a rugby game to remember.

Men’s Day Out is so much more than a fun, banter-fuelled outing to revel in with your mates – it’s also about being mindful of men’s mental health and the impact of bereavement while bringing in vital funds for St Luke’s. Last year Men’s Day Out reached its 10-year anniversary, totting up a grand total of more than £1 million raised since 2014.

Many of you walk in memory of loved ones but, let’s face it, men are masters at masking our emotions, even after losing someone we care deeply about. Sharing our feelings can make a big difference, and Men’s Day Out offers a great opportunity to drop the brave face and open up to others who know what we are going through.
