Completing All Leicestershire parkruns


There are currently 13 parkrun events in the present-day county of Leicestershire of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Braunstone, which started on 25th September 2010, and the newest is Sence Valley Forest Park, which started on 23rd September 2023. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Flaw-Leics”.

The location of the Market Harborough event was in the historic county of Northamptonshire but is now in present-day Leicestershire.

Numbers exclude 2k Junior parkruns and any events that are not open to the general public such as prisons or armed forces facilities.



All of the Leicestershire parkrun events …

Below are each of the Leicestershire 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.

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.
