ACORN South By Five - Kings Park
This sign-up is for ONE EVENT ONLY - not the full series.
Our signature series, South By Five returns. Based on the iconic Glasgow race, The South Side Six, South By Five visits each of the six parks over a 12 week period. A 5km event is held in each park, with runners able to enter single events or the whole series.
5 of the 6 races must be completed to complete the series and become a "Fiver"!
The six parks are:
- Kings Park – Sunday 1st November
- Linn Park – Sunday 15th November
- Rouken Glen – Sunday 29th November
- Pollok Park – Sunday 13th December
- Bellahouston Park – Sunday 3rd January
- Queens Park – Sunday 17th January
All races will start at 10:30am.
The final race will be followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club, close to Queens Park.
Pricing: All races are free to enter. Places are limited so please only sign up if you intend to run. If your circumstances change, please let us know, we're happy to transfer places and may also have a waiting list.
Whilst race entry is free, there will be a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund. This fund enables us to help develop the grassroots of the sport, train coaches and first aiders, donate to local good causes and invest in the trails and parks which enable our routes to be so amazing and fun.
Options: Sx5 merch options are also available at sign up. Merch order options will close on August 31st.
Charity: Supporting Give A Dog A Bone, which helps older adults to afford a pet rescue companion.
Litter Pick: There will be an organised litter pick for each park that the series visits.
