THE third annual Hospiscare Men's Walk will take place on March 15, starting at 8.45am.

The 10k men only walk will, once again, head out from the home of the Exeter Chiefs and take in some great views of the city before heading back to Sandy Park in time to relax with a pint and a pasty, while watching three Six Nations matches in the Exeter Suite.

Sponsored by Wilkinson Grant and Co, the walk is a great way to spend a lads' day out alongside friends and family members.

Hospiscare Event Fundraiser, Hannah Slater, said: "The chance to spend a day out with your mates, or for fathers and sons to get together, has made this 10k walk an extremely popular event in the Hospiscare calendar.

"This is a really fun event, which is open to anyone aged 12 years upwards.

Over the past two years, the Men's Walk has made its mark as a way for people across all generations, from grandfathers to grandsons, to enjoy a lads' day out together."

Entry costs £15 and includes an invite to Sandy Park's Exeter Suite, after the walk, to watch the Italy v England, Wales v Scotland and France v Ireland rugby matches on big screens, along with a free pint from Otter Breweries and a delicious pasty from Chunks of Devon.

There will also be an opportunity to win a signed 2012/2013 England Rugby jersey.

More than 400 men braved hailstones and sweeping rain to take part in the walk last year, raising more than £40k for local charity Hospiscare.

Hospiscare provides high-quality care and dedicated support to people with life-limiting illnesses in Exeter, mid and east Devon.
