ACORN South By Five - Queens Park
ACORN South By Five at Queens Park is a single 5 km park event on 17 January 2027 organised by Acorn Trails. This sign-up is for one event only, not the full series. The event is one of six 5 km races held across a 12 week period; entrants can enter individual events or the full series.
The six parks and dates in the series are Kings Park (1 November), Linn Park (15 November), Rouken Glen (29 November), Pollok Park (13 December), Bellahouston Park (3 January) and Queens Park (17 January). To complete the series and earn the title "Fiver", a runner must complete five of the six races. A series entry carries a strict attendance condition: if a competitor fails to attend two of the first three events their series entry will be withdrawn and offered to the waiting list with no refund.
All races are free to enter, though places are limited (total capacity 65) and a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund applies. Transfers and a waiting list are available. Merch options are offered at sign-up for entries made before 31 August. The final race at Queens Park will be followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club. Each park visit will include an organised litter pick; details will be published closer to the events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
