East of England parkruns

The parkrun Regionnaire status used to be a major part of parkrun tourism. Changes in the parkrun website in 2019 removed the regions making it harder to track completion status. All is not lost though as here’s the complete parkrun guide to what’s in and what’s out of the counties of East of England.

The East of England is a diverse and low-lying region of the UK, situated to the north and east of London, with which it shares a significant economic and commuter relationship. The region is composed of six ceremonial counties: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. Geographically, the East of England is characterised by its remarkably flat topography and vast open skies, most notably across the Fens: a reclaimed marshland spanning parts of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. It contains the unique inland waterways of the Broads National Park (predominantly in Norfolk and Suffolk) and the ancient, sandy heathlands of Breckland. Coastal features are varied, ranging from the expansive salt marshes and bird reserves of the North Norfolk Coast to the iconic pier at Southend-on-Sea and the crumbling soft-rock cliffs of the Suffolk shoreline.
