Alexandra Park 5k/10k
The Alexandra Park 5k/10k is a road running event held in Glasgow at Alexandra Parade, G31 2ER. The event offers the following race distances:
- 5k
- 10k
Entry is managed through the booking partner Let's Do This and requires an account with that provider. Online entries typically close two days before the event, and on-the-day entries are generally available on a first come, first served basis with cash fees commonly around £20 for the 5k and £25 for the 10k.
Races are fully chip timed and the course is measured. Race chips are attached to the race bib, which is collected at the registration desk on event day. Participants receive confirmation from Let's Do This and further race-day information by email in the week before the event.
On course provisions include hydration stations, kilometre markers, course marshals, event music, and an instructor led warm up. Finishers receive a medal and a goody bag containing sports nutrition snacks and offers for runners. Cut off times are typically 1.5 hours for the 5k and 10k. Age guidance follows Scottish Athletics: 5k runners should be 11 or above and 10k runners should be above 15; children remain the responsibility of their parent or guardian who should remain onsite.
Dogs are not permitted. Standard headphones are not allowed; bone conduction headphones are permitted. Photos from the event are made available free on the event website. Volunteers typically work from around 8am until midday and receive refreshments and a free entry to an Up and Running Event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
