Festive Foodbank Reindeer Run is organised by Body and Sole Fitness at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. The community fundraising event supports Trussell Trust foodbanks in and around the city, bringing runners together for an informal 5K with a festive atmosphere.
Starting near Bellahouston Sports Centre, the route briefly follows Mosspark Boulevard before returning to the park. Runners complete sections around the cricket pitch and pass the Palace of Art and House for an Art Lover before heading back towards the sports centre track for the finish. The approximately 5K course is GPS measured rather than officially certified.
The event places greater emphasis on participation and fundraising than competitive racing. Finishing times are recorded manually, with course markings and volunteer marshals helping participants around the route. Foam reindeer antlers add to the Christmas atmosphere, encouraging runners to enjoy the occasion while supporting Glasgow foodbanks.
