100 Black Men Walk for Health - 10th Anniversary

Edale Walk, Saturday 2nd March 2013

The 100 Black Men Walk for Health group have been meeting each month and walking in the South Yorkshire and Derbyshire region since July 2004.

The 100 Black Men Walk for Health walk began as an initiative to promote the health benefits of walking and to encourage urbanised Black men in Sheffield to explore the regions rich rural heritage. 

The walking group is inspired by the Civil Rights Movement in America in the 1950s and 1960s.  

We meet on the first Saturday of each month.
