Acorn South by Five - King's Park

Event overview

ACORN South By Five 25/26 is a six-race 5 km series organised by Acorn Trails. The Kings Park race was scheduled for 02 November 2025. The series visits six parks over a 12-week period: Kings Park, Linn Park, Rouken Glen, Pollok Park, Bellahouston Park, and Queens Park. Runners may enter single events or the whole series. To complete the series and earn "Fiver" status, participants must finish at least five of the six races. The final race is followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club near Queens Park.

Entry, charity and extras

All races are free to enter, but entry includes a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund. Entrants are encouraged to bring donations to a local foodbank in lieu of an entry fee. Full-series entries are available, with a policy that if a participant misses two of the first three events their series entry will be withdrawn and offered to the waiting list, with no refund. Places were limited to 50 for the Kings Park event and the listing is closed. Additional options at sign up included series merchandise. Each park in the series will host an organised litter pick. The series supports the local charity Give A Dog A Bone, which helps people over 60 adopt rescue animals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
