Event Details

This sign-up is for a single event in the South by Five series, not the full series. The event is a 5 km run taking place in King's Park on 1 November 2026.

About the Series

South by Five is a series of six 5 km events, each held in a different park over a 12-week period. Participants can enter individual events or the entire series. To complete the series and become a "Fiver", a participant must finish five of the six races.

Entry and Fees

Entry for each race is free, but places are limited. A mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund is required upon entry. This fund supports local causes, coach training, and park maintenance. Participants unable to afford the donation are encouraged to contact the organizer directly.

Additional options for series merchandise are available during sign-up, with orders closing on 31 August.

Post-Race

A gathering and prize-giving will be held at a local bowling club after the final race in the series (Queen's Park on 17 January). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
