There are 11 parkrun events in the historic county of Northamptonshire, of which I have completed 5. The first parkrun was Northampton, which started on May 5th 2012, and the newest is The Plens, which started on July 20th 2024. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Northamp-done-shire”.

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.

Below are each of the Northamtonshire 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.
