Acorn South by Five - Queens Park

Glasgow, United Kingdom • 19 Jan 2025

Acorn South by Five - Queens Park is part of a series of 5km running events inspired by the Glasgow race, The South Side Six. This event takes place in six different parks over a ten-week period, with participants required to complete at least five races to finish the series. The event promotes community engagement by encouraging donations to local charities and food banks instead of traditional entry fees. Additionally, each race includes a litter pick to help maintain the parks. The series supports the charity Give A Dog A Bone, which assists seniors in adopting rescue pets.
