ABBATHON 5K & 10K Run
ABBATHON combines an ABBA tribute performance with a timed running event at Heaton Park in Manchester, England. The event offers both 5 km and 10 km options and takes place in person with paid parking and an all ages policy.
The event features a live ABBA tribute act performing for at least 45 minutes before the race, a DJ, and music guides who run with speakers to provide music along parts of the course. All participants receive race bibs with chip timing and will be issued an official time after the run. Professional photographers will capture images during the event and photos are made available for free online within 72 hours.
Additional event elements include a special edition finisher’s medal inspired by ABBA, post-race fresh fruit, and a limited edition ABBATHON finisher’s T shirt available for purchase for £19.99. Tickets were listed with a price range from £33.19 to £35.36 and ticket availability began on 21 May 2026. The event is organised by Run Fanatics Events and is presented as an inclusive, themed race experience combining live music and running.
