ACORN South By Five - Rouken Glen
ACORN South By Five visits Rouken Glen on 29 November 2026 as a single entry in the South By Five series. This entry covers one event only and is not a full series entry. The series is based on the Glasgow race The South Side Six and comprises six park events held over a 12 week period. Each park hosts a 5 km event.
Entrants may register for individual races or for the full series. To complete the series and earn the designation "Fiver" a participant must finish five of the six races. Series entries carry a strict attendance condition: if a competitor fails to attend two of the first three events their series entry will be withdrawn and offered to the waiting list with no refund.
Race entry is free but there is a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund to support coaching, first aid training, local causes and trail upkeep. Places are limited; the event lists a total of 65 places. Organisers note that donations to the local foodbank are welcome in lieu of an entry fee and that assistance is available for those unable to afford entry.
Additional sign-up options include South By Five merchandise while available. The final race in the series will be followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club near Queens Park. An organised litter pick will take place for each park during the series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
