Moira's Run 2026

Celebrate Moira's Legacy at Glasgow’s Queen’s Park on Sunday, October 18th, 2026. This annual 5K run honors the memory of Moira Jones, who was tragically murdered in May 2008 while living in Glasgow for five years.
The event raises funds for The Moira Fund, which has provided crucial support to over a thousand families affected by homicide across the UK. Grants from this charity can cover expenses such as funeral costs and clothing needed when attending court proceedings.
Participants are invited to join at Queen’s Park or take part virtually from anywhere in the world. Whether you prefer running, walking, skiing, or samba dancing, there's an option for everyone who wants to contribute to a meaningful cause.
Registration fees of £12.50 cover all participants and include a commemorative medal upon completion. For those attending Queen’s Park, numbers will be available from 8:00 AM until 9:30 AM on the day of the event. The run begins promptly at 10:00 AM following an energizing warm-up session.
Join us to celebrate Moira's life and support families in need through this heartwarming annual event. All proceeds go directly toward helping those affected by homicide, ensuring that Moira’s legacy continues to make a difference.
Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite running gear or any outfit that holds special significance for them as they take part in this moving tribute.

Queen’s Park provides a scenic backdrop with its lush greenery and historic charm, making it an ideal setting for such a poignant occasion.
