Seaton Football Pitches, Aulton Outdoor Pitches, Aberdeen, AB24 1XL, United Kingdom
Aberdeen 5k 2026 is a local Race for Life event organised by Cancer Research UK in aid of life-saving cancer research. The event combines a grass start and finish beside the Raymond Kelly Pavilion with the majority of the route on road, making the course a mixed-terrain 5 kilometre route suitable for walkers and runners alike. Entry supports fundraising for Cancer Research UK and the event page highlights the community and charitable focus rather than competitive prizes. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace and the distance is promoted as accessible for first-time fundraisers and recreational runners.
The event offers on-site support including warm-up sessions, accessibility assistance and basic facilities such as toilets and refreshments. Practical arrival information is provided for participants, with parking at nearby Pittodrie Stadium, drop-off points and public-transport links by bus and train. The organisers note a short grass section at the start that may require assistance for wheelchair users and pushchairs in wet conditions.
