Completing all Staffordshire parkruns
There are currently 13 parkrun events in the present-day county of Staffordshire, of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Hanley parkrun which started on 24th September 2011 and the newest is Vale Park, Burslem parkrun which started on 11th July 2026. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Fully Staffed”.
7 parkrun events that were formerly in the historic county of Staffordshire are now in the ceremonial county of West Midlands. These are: Brunswick Park, Dudley, East Park, Perry Hall, Sandwell Valley, Walsall Arboretum and Wolverhampton.
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 Staffordshire parkrun events …
Below are each of the Staffordshire 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.

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.
