ACORN South By Five - Bellahouston Park
This entry is for one event only and is not a full series entry. The event is part of the South By Five signature series, which visits six parks over a 12 week period. A 5 km event is held in each park and runners can enter single events or the whole series.
Completing five of the six races qualifies an entrant as a "Fiver". The six parks and dates in the series are Kings Park on 1 November, Linn Park on 15 November, Rouken Glen on 29 November, Pollok Park on 13 December, Bellahouston Park on 3 January, and Queens Park on 17 January. The final race is followed by a gathering and prize giving at a local bowling club close to Queens Park.
All races are free to enter but places are limited. There is a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund to support grassroots development, coach and first aider training, local good causes, and trail and park maintenance. Entrants who cannot afford to pay are invited to contact the organiser; transfers and a waiting list may also be available. If entering the entire series, note that failing to attend two of the first three events will result in series entry withdrawal and the place being offered to the waiting list without refund.
Additional sign-up options include Sx5 merchandise during registration. An organised litter pick will take place at each park. The event supports the local charity Give A Dog A Bone and an animal a home. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
