ABBATHON 5K & 10K – ABBA Themed Fun Run

Join us for the ABBATHON 5K & 10K Fun Run – an ABBA-themed fun run like no other!

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just a devoted ABBA fan, this event is for everyone who wants to celebrate the music of ABBA while enjoying a scenic 5K or 10K run (or walk) through one of the city's most iconic parks.

What to Expect:

💃 Dress the part (optional)– Come in your favourite ABBA-inspired outfit or recreate one of their iconic retro looks!

🎵 Music to set the mood – The atmosphere starts strong with ABBA’s biggest hits playing at the start line.

🎤 ABBA Tribute Performance & Warm-Up – Our ABBA tribute act will perform live for at least 45 minutes before the race kicks off – the perfect way to warm up and get into the groove!

🏃 Music Guides – Run alongside our music guides, each carrying a speaker, so you can enjoy music as you run! While we can’t guarantee music coverage for the entire route, our team will be spread out to keep the tunes going.

📸 Free Event Photographs – Professional photographers will capture some of the best running moments. Photos will be available for free on our website within 72 hours after the event to share and treasure.

Chip-timed race – For those chasing a PB or wanting to track their pace, all runners will be provided with race bibs featuring chip timing. You’ll receive your official time after the run, so you can see how you did – whether you're racing competitively or just curious.

🏅 Special-Edition Finisher’s Medal – A one-of-a-kind medal inspired by iconic ABBA elements. The perfect keepsake to show off your ABBATHON pride!

🍉 Post-Race Refreshments – Refuel with fresh fruit after you cross the finish line.
