Completing all Dorset parkruns

There are currently 10 parkrun events in present-day Dorset of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Poole which started on April 2nd 2011 and the newest is Highcliffe Beach which started on December 13th 2025. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is The Dor Set

Bournemouth, Moors Valley and Highcliffe Beach were in historic Hampshire but are now part of present-day Dorset.

Numbers exclude any events that are not open to the general public such as prisons or armed forces facilities.

The interactive maps below take you to the approximate location for the course, typically the centre of the park. See the course instructions in the parkrun page for each event for specific directions to the start. Course maps show the route at the time that I ran it and may have changed since then.

parkruns are free, weekly, community 5k events all around the world. I started in December 2012 and have been obsessive about it ever since. See my parkrun Collection page for details.
