Series format, entry and community activities
South By Five stages a 5km event in each of six parks across a 12 week period. Runners may enter individual races or a full series entry. Completing five of the six races is required to complete the series and become a "Fiver". The six parks and dates in the 2025/26 series are Kings Park (02/11/2025), Linn Park (16/11/2025), Rouken Glen (30/11/2025), Pollok Park (14/12/2025), Bellahouston Park (04/01/2026) and Queens Park (18/01/2026). The final race is followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club near Queens Park.
All races are free to enter, though entries are limited and a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund applies. The fund supports local coaching, first aid training, donations to local causes and trail maintenance. Entrants are encouraged to bring donations to a local foodbank in lieu of an entry fee. Series entries may be withdrawn if a runner fails to attend two of the first three events; transfers and a waiting list are used where needed. Each park visit will include an organised litter pick. The series supports the local charity Give A Dog A Bone. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
