About the race
Duthie Park 5k/10k takes place at Duthie Park, Polmuir Road, Aberdeen AB11 7TH, and offers a range of short-distance races on park paths and open green spaces.
Available distances:
- 10 km - four laps of the 2.5 km loop
- 5 km - two laps of the 2.5 km loop
- Kids Race - 2.5 km
- Toddler Dash - very short fun sprint
The route follows a flat, fast 2.5 km loop through wide, smooth paths, past gardens and across open parkland. The course has minimal elevation and long flowing sections, and it is fully marked with kilometre markers and directional arrows. Multi-lap format gives spectators repeated opportunities to see runners, and runners completing multiple laps are responsible for tracking their own lap count.
Race services include chip timing, a bespoke finisher medal, free race photography, finisher goody bags, hydration stations, friendly marshals, and first aid and medical support. The race bib contains the timing chip and must be secured to outer clothing for the chip to register.
Event rules noted for participants include age guidance of 11 or above for 5 km entries and above 15 for 10 km entries, a typical cut off of 1.5 hours to complete the 5 km or 10 km, no dogs on course, and a restriction on standard headphones with bone conduction devices permitted.
