There are currently 25 parkrun events in present-day Hampshire of which I have done 15. The first was Basingstoke which started on July 5th 2008 and the newest is Fordingbridge Recreation Ground which started on July 19th 2025. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Champshire”.

The Historic County of Hampshire has a further 5 events, totaling 30.

Bournemouth, Highcliffe Beach, Moors Valley were in historic Hampshire but are now part of present-day Dorset and are in the South-West region.
Tidworth: South Tidworth where the parkrun takes place was moved from Hampshire into Wiltshire in 1992 but houses there still have Hampshire on their address for post.
Medina IOW was in Historic Hampshire but is now in the present-day county of the Isle of Wight.

A special mention goes to Sandhurst Memorial. The course starts and ends in Berkshire but crosses over into Hampshire which is on the south side of the River Blackwater.

Mountbatten School parkrun was active until the Covid-19 parkrun pause and is now permanently closed.

You can spell out the word ‘Hampshire’ by running various parkrun events in the county of Hampshire. For example: Havant, Andover, Meon Valley Trail, Portsmouth Lakeside, Southampton, Hogmoor Inclosure, Itchen Valley Country, Rushmoor, Eastleigh. (thanks to Helen Rees for this info)

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

All of the Hampshire parkrun events …

Below are each of the Hampshire 5k parkrun events in alphabetical order. A few things to note:

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 and elevation profiles show the route at the time that I ran it and may have changed since then. See the Course page in the event’s page on parkrun.org.uk for the current course outline. Note that course outlines are from Garmin data during a specific run and may vary from the officially measured distance.
Please contact me if you spot an event that doesn’t have a course map and elevation profile and you would like to donate one from your own run. I’m also interested in maps and elevation profiles for courses that have changed or where there’s regular alternative route (e.g. Horsham). I’ll need a GPX file from your run plus the date. I’ll include a credit for you and will donate £1 to parkrun.
