Completing all Somerset parkruns
There are currently 16 parkrun events in present-day Somerset, of which I have completed 3. The first was Ashton Court which started on April 23rd 2011 and the newest is St Matthew’s Field which started on November 29th 2025. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “The Somer-Set”.
Yeovil Montacute parkrun was active until the Covid-19 parkrun pause and is now permanently closed. Henstridge Airfield parkrun closed in September 2023.
Numbers exclude any events that are not open to the general public such as prisons or armed forces facilities.
All of the Somerset parkrun events …
Below are each of the Somerset 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 a 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.

Inaugural: September 8th 2018. Final Event: #167 on September 2nd 2023
Reason for cancellation: The Event Directors decided they no longer wanted to run it, and without their specific site knowledge for ensuring safety, the Landlord required the event to stop, as no one else with the necessary skills stepped up to take over.
