Series rules, fees and community activities
Runners can enter single events or the full series. Completing at least 5 of the 6 races is required to complete the series and be recorded as a "Fiver". Full-series entries include a rule: if a participant misses two of the first three events, that series entry may be withdrawn and offered to a waiting list with no refund. Entry is free, but there is 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 when appropriate. The series supports the charity Give A Dog A Bone, which helps people over 60 afford a rescue pet companion. An organised litter pick will take place at each park and event merchandise and other options are available during registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
