Completing all Surrey parkruns

Surrey parkrun banner.JPG

There are currently 13 parkrun events in present-day Surrey. The first was Banstead Woods which started on June 16th 2007 and the newest is Egham Orbit which started on January 25th 2025. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “SurreyALList”.

The Historic County of Surrey has a further 17 events, totalling 30. These 17 are now part of Greater London. Hazelwood is an interesting one having been in both Historic Surrey and Middlesex and is within the M25 but outside Greater London. Part of the Riddlesdown course, including the finish, is in Surrey, although the start is in Greater London, so it’s classified as a LonDone event. Both Bethlem Royal Hospital and Crystal Palace cross the Surrey/Kent border but are mostly in Historic Kent.

I first completed the county on November 10th 2018 at Cranleigh.

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

All of the Surrey parkrun events …

Below are each of the Surrey 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.
