Running The Bakerloo Line

A few weeks ago, I completed my run of the Circle Line above ground. That particular challenge was actually completed in two parts, with a whole ten years between them! The first part covered the main circle, while the second part, completed much more recently, ticked off the Hammersmith Spur. That most recent run sparked something in me, inspiring me to take on more London Underground runs and walks.

Next up on the list: the Bakerloo line.

The line was originally called the "Baker Street and Waterloo Railway", but a journalist coined the term "Bakerloo" in a newspaper column shortly after it opened in 1906, and the railway company quickly adopted it. On paper, running the Bakerloo line is a much more straightforward undertaking. It’s a single point-to-point line with no complicated spurs and no circles to navigate.

The plan was simple: start at the northern terminus of Harrow & Wealdstone, follow the route as closely as possible above ground, visit every station for a mandatory selfie, and finish at Elephant & Castle 27 kilometres later. Afterwards, I’d simply take the tube all the way back to the start.

I’ll admit, the prep for this one wasn't ideal. I’d had a pretty heavy week at work, and the day before the run, I had been out on a day adventure on the south coast hunting OS Trig Pillars. Safe to say, when Sunday morning rolled around, I didn't feel completely up for a continuous 27 km run. I decided to adapt. The new plan was to run as much of the route as I could, and then walk the rest. To be honest, staying above ground seemed like the better option anyway: if I had taken the tube for that first leg, I would have been travelling on the oldest rolling stock on the London Underground, dating back to 1972, and sharing the tunnels with the Culex molestus, a unique breed of mosquito specific to the Underground network.

I drove to Harrow & Wealdstone station, parked up, and set off in a south-easterly direction. The first section of the route took me through the fairly residential north-west stretches of the line, through areas including Kenton, Wembley, Harlesden, and Queen's Park. There is nothing wrong with this section, but it is fairly residential and not massively distinct compared to what comes later.

By the time I reached Maida Vale, I was well and truly ready for a coffee and a piece of cake. I ducked into a Starbucks, completely satisfied that I had done all the running I wanted to do for the day. While taking a breather there, I was at a site of Underground history: when Maida Vale opened in 1915 during the First World War, it was the first station on the network to be staffed entirely by women. From this point on, it was going to be a walk.

From Maida Vale onwards, the route gets more interesting as you enter the pleasant, affluent parts of north-west London. There is a lot more to see, so it made perfect sense to take it slow, conserve my energy, and actually take in the sights.

Shortly after Maida Vale, I hit the Grand Union Canal. This is very familiar territory for me as I work nearby, and I enjoyed the stroll through Paddington Basin before scooting around St. Mary's Hospital towards Edgware Road.

It was at Edgware Road that I encountered my first navigational issue. When mapping out the run, I had accidentally planned my route to the wrong Edgware Road station. As tube trivia fans will know, there are two stations with the same name located very close to each other, but they aren't physically connected. One serves the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines, while the other, situated on the opposite side of the A40, serves the Bakerloo line. Naturally, I ended up visiting both of them by accident.

To compound my planning errors, I realised at Edgware Road that I had completely missed Marylebone station off my route list. Thankfully, I was able to divert and get that one in before heading on to Baker Street.

Upon reaching Regent's Park, the Bakerloo line takes a sharp right turn to the south. Interestingly, this station was actually an afterthought: it only received planning permission after construction had already begun on the rest of the line. I followed suit, walking down Regent Street, past the bustling crowds of Oxford Street, and on to Piccadilly Circus. From there, I headed down to Charing Cross and finally crossed the river towards Waterloo Station.

Arriving at Waterloo, my patchy route planning struck again. I realised I had also left Lambeth North out of my itinerary. It is quite ironic that I missed it, as the station has historically struggled with its own identity. When it opened in 1906, it was originally called Kennington Road, was renamed Westminster Bridge Road months later, and finally settled on Lambeth North in 1917. I made a quick detour south to visit it, snapping the required selfie before finally ending up at the southern terminus: Elephant & Castle.

I had covered the 27 kilometres. The run/walk was complete. Or so I thought. As I stood at Elephant & Castle, reviewing the day's efforts, I had a sudden, sinking realisation. I had walked straight past Embankment station without getting a selfie.

There was only one thing to do. I hopped on the Bakerloo line at Elephant & Castle, rode it a few stops north, and got out at Embankment to take the forgotten selfie. Mission officially accomplished, I got back on the train and took the tube all the way back up to Harrow & Wealdstone to collect my car and head home.

Back at Harrow & Wealdstone station, I decided to do a little extra bit of geekery by finding the eponymous Weald Stone. It is a seven-minute drive away, sitting unassumingly outside the Bombay Central restaurant on a roundabout.

It turns out that this ancient stone traditionally marked the old boundary between the parishes of Harrow and Harrow Weald. Interestingly, it is a sarsen stone, which is the exact same type of stone used to build Stonehenge. Finding this quirky piece of history made for a very satisfying end to a weekend of adventures.

More London Posts

If you enjoyed reading this post, there is plenty more to explore across the capital. I have put together a dedicated London Outdoors page where I keep track of all my other adventures around the city. It is a handy index where I group my posts by the different types of places I have visited: including historic boundary lines, canal towpaths, and some surprising urban high points.

The collection covers a bit of everything: from long-distance cycling routes to tracing the underground network on foot, and ticking off another Saturday morning parkrun. If you are looking for some inspiration for your own weekend outings, head back over to the London Outdoors page to see what else I have been up to.

Yorkshire and The Humber parkruns

 

Yorkshire and the Humber is a vast and dramatically contrasting region of the UK, situated across northern and eastern England, acting as a major historical, cultural, and industrial hub. The region is composed of the ceremonial counties of West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and parts of two others: the majority of North Yorkshire (excluding areas north of the River Tees) and the northern portion of Lincolnshire. Geographically, Yorkshire and the Humber is characterised by its sweeping, often wild topography, most notably across the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors: two distinct, rugged National Parks spanning the north and west of the region. It contains the towering, wind-swept ridges of the Pennine Chain and the uniquely flat, vast agricultural expanse of the Humber Estuary. Landscapes across the region are varied, ranging from the steep, dramatic limestone valleys of the dales to the heavily industrialised, densely populated urban centres of West and South Yorkshire, and the sheer, chalky cliffs of Flamborough Head on the east coast.

The administrative map of Yorkshire and the Humber underwent significant transformations following the Local Government Act 1972, which came into effect in 1974. Prior to this, the region was largely defined by the ancient, historic county of Yorkshire (subdivided into the North, West, and East Ridings) alongside the historic county of Lincolnshire to the south. The 1974 reforms sought to modernise local government and address the sprawling industrial conurbations, leading to the creation of the metropolitan counties of West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, absorbing the heavily populated areas of the former West Riding. The reforms also created the controversial, and later abolished, county of Humberside, which merged the East Riding with the northernmost parts of Lincolnshire across the Humber estuary. Following further reorganisations in 1996, Humberside was dissolved, restoring the East Riding of Yorkshire and establishing the modern administrative landscape, though the distinct historic and cultural identities of the region's ancient boundaries continue to be fiercely celebrated.

parkrun event numbers per county

There are currently 68 parkrun events in the counties of the Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Notes and exceptions.

  • All South Yorkshire parkrun events were part of the historic county of Yorkshire except for Graves and Rother Valley which were in historic Derbyshire. The Rother Valley course crosses the border between the 2 historic counties.

  • Five North Yorkshire events in the Tees Valley: Albert, Flatts Lane, Marshall Drive, Redcar and Stewart are in North East England region. All other North Yorkshire events are in the Yorkshire and The Humber region.

  • Most of Lincolnshire is in the East Midlands Region, however the most northerly 6 parkrun events are in the Yorkshire and the Humber region: Ancholme Valley Way, Baysgarth Park, Cleethorpes, Normanby Hall, Scunthorpe, Vermuyden Way

North East England parkruns

 

The parkrun Regionnaire status used to be a major part of parkrun tourism. Changes in the parkrun website in 2019 removed the regions making it harder to track completion status. All is not lost though, as here’s the complete parkrun guide to what’s in and what’s out of the counties of North West England.

The North East of England is a diverse and distinctive region of the UK, situated in the far north of the country, bordered by the North Sea to the east and sharing a long, historic border with Scotland. The region is composed of three ceremonial counties: County Durham, Northumberland, and Tyne and Wear. Geographically, the North East is characterised by its rugged coastline and expansive, sparsely populated uplands, most notably across Northumberland National Park: a dramatic and ancient landscape stretching south from the Cheviot Hills. It contains the deeply historic, rolling hills of the North Pennines (predominantly in County Durham and Northumberland) and the iconic, windswept route of Hadrian's Wall. Landscapes across the region are varied, ranging from the steep limestone cliffs and sandy bays of the Durham coast to the vast coniferous woodland of Kielder Forest and the rich, post-industrial river valleys of the Tyne, the Wear, and the Tees.

The administrative map of the North East underwent a significant transformation following the Local Government Act 1972, which came into effect in 1974. Prior to this, the region was defined by the ancient historic counties of Northumberland and County Durham (and historically, a portion of northern Yorkshire). The 1974 reforms sought to modernise local government, particularly to address the dense, industrial urban growth around the major rivers. This led to the creation of the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear, which absorbed heavily populated, heavily industrialised swathes of south-east Northumberland and north-east County Durham (including Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland). The reforms also created the short-lived county of Cleveland in the south (absorbing parts of Durham and Yorkshire around the Tees), though this was later abolished. These boundaries, particularly the establishment of Tyne and Wear alongside the slightly reduced modern counties of Northumberland and Durham, were solidified for the purposes of appointing Lord-Lieutenants by the Lieutenancies Act 1997, firmly establishing the modern "ceremonial counties" we recognise today, even as the region's historic identities continue to hold deep cultural significance.

There are currently 43 parkrun events in the counties of the North East England region.

Notes and exceptions.

  • Five North Yorkshire events in the Tees Valley: Albert, Flatts Lane, Marshall Drive, Redcar and Stewart are in North East England region. All other North Yorkshire events are in the Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Completing all North Yorkshire parkruns

There are currently 20 parkrun events in the present-day county of North Yorkshire, of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Albert which started on 31 May 2008 and the newest is York Community Woodland which started on 14 December 2024. The name for having completed all parkrun events in Yorkshire is “Yorkshire Pud-done”.

Five North Yorkshire events in the Tees Valley: Albert, Flatts Lane, Marshall Drive, Redcar and Stewart are in North East England region. All other North Yorkshire events are in the Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Castle Howard, Catterick and New Earswick were parkrun events in North Yorkshire but have now been permanently cancelled.

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 North Yorkshire parkrun events …

Below are each of the North Yorkshire 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.

parkrun Name Changers

 

Have you ever looked back through your parkrun results, or perhaps tried to look up an old event you ran years ago, only to find the name has completely vanished? You are not going into a parallel universe: it turns out quite a few UK events have quietly rebranded over the years.

In fact, the biggest name change in the movement's history applies to the very first events! When founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt launched the original 5k back in October 2004, it was called the Bushy Park Time Trial (BPTT). As the movement slowly expanded to other locations like Wimbledon Common, Richmond, Banstead Woods, and Leeds, they were collectively known as "UK Time Trials." It wasn't until mid-2008 that the entire organization officially rebranded as "parkrun" to appeal to a wider, non-traditional running community. So, technically, all of those original "Time Trial" events were the very first parkrun name changers. Here is the full list of those early pioneers and the names they eventually adopted:

  • Albert Park Time Trial ➔ Albert parkrun, Middlesbrough

  • Banstead Woods Time Trial ➔ Banstead Woods parkrun

  • Bramhall Park Time Trial ➔ Bramhall parkrun

  • Brighton & Hove Time Trial ➔ Brighton & Hove parkrun

  • Bushy Park Time Trial ➔ Bushy parkrun

  • Cardiff Blackweir Time Trial ➔ Cardiff parkrun

  • Hyde Park Time Trial ➔ Leeds parkrun ➔ Woodhouse Moor parkrun

  • North Hampshire Time Trial ➔ Basingstoke parkrun

  • Richmond Park Time Trial ➔ Richmond Park parkrun

  • Wimbledon Common Time Trial ➔ Wimbledon Common parkrun

It is an interesting little quirk of parkrun history. When you first hear about a local event, it is naturally referred to by the town or city it is in. But as the movement has grown, so too has the need for specificity.

parkrun HQ actually has a fairly strict naming policy: events are supposed to be named after the smallest identifiable geographical area where the event takes place. Think a specific park, trail, or open space rather than the name of the nearest town. This usually becomes an issue when a town gets large enough to host a second event.

A great example is Swindon parkrun. It ran under that name for nearly a decade, but when a second event (Seven Fields parkrun) popped up on the other side of town in 2019, organisers needed to adopt a more specific location-based name to avoid confusion. So, Swindon parkrun officially became Lydiard parkrun, named after the country park where it is held.

In other cases, it is just about accuracy. Take Ludlow parkrun, which rebranded to Mortimer Forest parkrun in August 2026. The venue was never actually in the town of Ludlow itself, and the new name does a much better job of reflecting the beautiful, hilly woodland trails where the event actually takes place.

If you are a bit of a stats geek like me and worry about your parkrun profile, don't panic. When an event changes its name, all previous results, personal bests, and volunteer credits are retroactively updated on the system. Your history remains completely intact; it just gets a new name.

It is worth noting that there can be a fine line between a parkrun that has simply changed its name and one that has been permanently cancelled and replaced by a new event with a different name. The key difference lies in the event history: a true "Name Changer", like the ones on this list, keeps the same course and continues the same event number count on their Results page. On the other hand, a new event that replaces a permanently cancelled one starts its count all over again at Event number 1. An example of this is Storeys Field parkrun. When it was permanently cancelled, it was replaced nearby by Brook Leys parkrun. Even though it is run by the same core team and located close by, Brook Leys is officially a brand new event, so its event count started back at 1.

Let me know in the Comments or contact me if you have any additional information or corrections to the information here. I’m also looking for images of the parkrun banners with the old name and the new name. I’ll donate £1 to parkrun for each contribution and will list you as a Contributor to this page.

Avery Hill

  • Original Name: Greenwich

  • Date of Name Change: March 2025

  • Reason for Name Change: The original name was frequently confusing for tourists and visitors, as the course is located in Avery Hill Park in Eltham, not the famous Greenwich Park.

  • Region: London

  • Historic County: Kent

  • Present Day County: Greater London

  • Links: Avery Hill parkrun

Chippenham Playing Fields, Monmouth

  • Original Name: Chippenham Playing Fields

  • Date of Name Change: Unknown

  • Reason for Name Change: Added the specific town name to the title to avoid confusion with the existing Chippenham parkrun over in Wiltshire.

  • Region: Wales

  • Historic County: Monmouthshire

  • Present Day County: Monmouthshire

  • Links: Chippenham Playing Fields, Monmouth

Colby Woodland Garden

  • Original Name: Colby

  • Date of Name Change: Unknown

  • Reason for Name Change: To align with parkrun HQ's naming conventions and more accurately reflect the full name of the specific National Trust venue.

  • Region: Wales

  • Historic County: Pembrokeshire

  • Present Day County: Pembrokeshire

  • Links: Colby Woodland Garden

Crinan Canal, Lochgilphead

  • Original Name: Crinan Canal

  • Date of Name Change: Final one in old location was 21 June 2025. First one in new location was 15 November 2025

  • Reason for Name Change: They had a sink hole on the original route, were cancelled for a bit and then restarted on a different part of the canal (15 minute drive from original start line) with amended name.

  • Region: Scotland

  • Historic County: Argyllshire

  • Present Day County: Argyll and Bute

Endcliffe

  • Original Name: Sheffield Hallam

  • Date of Name Change: July 2020

  • Reason for Name Change: A necessary change to the route to exclude a pavement section on Rustlings Road for safety reasons. This evolution into a fully park-based route prompted a rebrand.

  • Region: Yorkshire and the Humber

  • Historic County: Yorkshire

  • Present Day County: South Yorkshire

Ferry Meadows

  • Original Name: Peterborough

  • Date of Name Change: December 2019

  • Reason for Name Change: To reflect the specific area and community rather than the generic city as a whole, especially due to multiple parkruns existing in the Peterborough area.

  • Region: East of England

  • Historic County: Huntingdonshire

  • Present Day County: Cambridgeshire

  • Links: Ferry Meadows parkrun

Gorleston Cliffs

  • Original Name: Gorleston

  • Date of Name Change: Unknown

  • Reason for Name Change: To more accurately reflect the specific location and beautiful cliff-top course, aligning with parkrun HQ's policy of naming events after their exact venue rather than the town as a whole.

  • Region: East of England

  • Historic County: Suffolk

  • Present Day County: Norfolk

  • Links: Gorleston Cliffs

Great Notley

  • Original Name: Braintree

  • Date of Name Change: June 2014

  • Reason for Name Change: The event was initially planned and referred to as Braintree parkrun during its setup phase, but was renamed to Great Notley prior to its inaugural event to adhere to parkrun's rule of naming events after the park itself.

  • Region: East of England

  • Historic County: Essex

  • Present Day County: Essex

  • Links: Great Notley parkrun

Greenham Common, Newbury

  • Original Name: Newbury

  • Date of Name Change: September 2025

  • Reason for Name Change: To better reflect its location and to differentiate it from the recently established Victoria Park parkrun, which is also located in Newbury.

  • Region: South East England

  • Historic County: Berkshire

  • Present Day County: Berkshire

  • Links: Greenham Common parkrun, Newbury

Leybourne Lakes

  • Original Name: Malling

  • Date of Name Change: October 2024

  • Reason for Name Change: To avoid confusion with Malling Rec parkrun in Lewes (which started in summer 2024), and to logically reflect its actual location in Leybourne Lakes Country Park, since "Malling" is a borough and not a specific town.

  • Region: South East England

  • Historic County: Kent

  • Present Day County: Kent

  • Links: Leybourne Lakes parkrun

Lister Park

  • Original Name: Bradford

  • Date of Name Change: October 2023

  • Reason for Name Change: To align with parkrun HQ's naming rules by referencing the specific park (Lister Park) rather than the wider city, especially since multiple parkrun events exist within the Bradford district.

  • Region: Yorkshire and the Humber

  • Historic County: Yorkshire

  • Present Day County: West Yorkshire

  • Links: Lister Park

  • Photos by: Andy Wilkinson, Victoria Knight-Phillips, Donna Tucker, Callum Burrell

Lydiard

  • Original Name: Swindon

  • Date of Name Change: Late 2019

  • Reason for Name Change: A second parkrun (Seven Fields) launched on the other side of Swindon, so the original event adopted a more specific location-based name to avoid confusion.

  • Region: South West England

  • Historic County: Wiltshire

  • Present Day County: Wiltshire

  • Links: Lydiard parkrun

Maidstone River Park

  • Original Name: Maidstone

  • Date of Name Change: March 2024

  • Reason for Name Change: To better reflect the route and align with parkrun policy of using the smallest identifiable location, particularly since Mote Park parkrun had also opened in Maidstone.

  • Region: South East England

  • Historic County: Kent

  • Present Day County: Kent

  • Links: Maidstone River Park

Markeaton

  • Original Name: Darley Abbey

  • Date of Name Change: March 2016

  • Reason for Name Change: The event relocated to a different site (Markeaton Park) following its last run at Darley Abbey in January 2016, carrying over its event number count to the new location.

  • Region: East Midlands

  • Historic County: Derbyshire

  • Present Day County: Derbyshire

Markshall

  • This parkrun event has been permanently cancelled.

  • Original Name: Markshall Estate

  • Date of Name Change: February 2026. Final event: #229 on August 22nd 2026

  • Reason for Name Change: Renamed from Markshall Estate parkrun after the landowner went through a rebranding exercise. It’s not pronounced “Marks-Hall” but “Mark-shall”.

  • Reason for cancellation: “The continued growth has resulted in increased pressures being put on Markshall’s infrastructure, facilities and personnel, resulting in recent parkrun events being temporarily cancelled. Representatives from both parkrun and Markshall have worked hard to resolve these issues but unfortunately, they could not be resolved satisfactorily.” (posted on the event’s news page on September 30th 2026)

Milton Country

  • Original Name: Cambridge

  • Date of Name Change: April 2023

  • Reason for Name Change: Following a prolonged hiatus during and after the pandemic, the event returned to Milton Country Park (initially having announced closure) with a slightly revised course and adopted a new name that accurately reflects its specific park venue rather than the broader city.

Monsal Trail

  • Original Name: Bakewell

  • Date of Name Change: November 2021

  • Reason for Name Change: The event retired its old route and moved to a new, safer course on the Monsal Trail.

Mortimer Forest

  • Original Name: Ludlow

  • Date of Name Change: August 2026

  • Reason for Name Change: The venue was never actually in or near the town of Ludlow (it is roughly three miles away). Organisers felt the new name better reflected the trails and scenery where the event is held.

  • Region: West Midlands

  • Historic County: Herefordshire

  • Present Day County: Herefordshire

Nostell

  • Original Name: Nostell Priory

  • Date of Name Change: Circa 2018

  • Reason for Name Change: The name was shortened to align with parkrun's naming conventions, referencing the wider Nostell village and estate rather than specifically the Priory building.

  • Region: Yorkshire and the Humber

  • Historic County: Yorkshire

  • Present Day County: West Yorkshire

  • Links: Nostell parkrun

Pollok, Glasgow

  • Original Name: Glasgow

  • Date of Name Change: June 2014

  • Reason for Name Change: The first parkrun in Scotland was originally just known as Glasgow. However, due to the growth of parkrun and the addition of three other events within the city, it was renamed to Pollok to reflect its specific location in Pollok Country Park.

  • Region: Scotland

  • Historic County: Lanarkshire

  • Present Day County: Glasgow City

  • Links: Pollok parkrun, Glasgow

Queen's, Belfast

  • Original Name: Queen's

  • Date of Name Change: Unknown

  • Reason for Name Change: Changed to distinguish the event from other locations referencing Queen's park, highlighting its specific location at Queen's University Sport in South Belfast.

  • Region: Northern Ireland

North West England parkruns

 

The parkrun Regionnaire status used to be a major part of parkrun tourism. Changes in the parkrun website in 2019 removed the regions making it harder to track completion status. All is not lost though, as here’s the complete parkrun guide to what’s in and what’s out of the counties of North West England.

The North West of England is a diverse and heavily populated region of the UK, bounded to the west by the Irish Sea and to the east by the Pennines, serving as a major economic and cultural powerhouse in Northern England. The region is composed of five ceremonial counties: Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Merseyside. Geographically, the North West is characterised by its dramatic transition from expansive urban areas to rugged upland terrain, most notably across the Lake District: a mountainous National Park spanning much of the length of Cumbria. It contains the prominent, sweeping ridges of the Forest of Bowland (predominantly in Lancashire) and the vast, scenic estuary of Morecambe Bay. Landscapes across the region are varied, ranging from the flat, agricultural expanse of the Cheshire Plain to the towering peaks of the Cumbrian fells and the rich, historic river valleys of the Mersey and the Irwell.

The administrative map of the North West underwent a significant transformation following the Local Government Act 1972, which came into effect in 1974. Prior to this, the region was defined by the ancient historic counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumberland, and Westmorland. The 1974 reforms sought to modernise local government, particularly to address the sprawling urban growth around major industrial cities. This led to the creation of the metropolitan counties of Greater Manchester and Merseyside, which absorbed large, heavily populated swathes of historic Lancashire and Cheshire. Further north, the sparsely populated historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland were merged, alongside the Furness area of Lancashire and a sliver of Yorkshire, to form the new county of Cumbria. These boundaries were later solidified for the purposes of appointing Lord-Lieutenants by the Lieutenancies Act 1997, firmly establishing the modern "ceremonial counties" we recognise today, even as the region's historic identities continue to hold deep cultural significance.

Completing all Merseyside parkruns

There are currently 10 parkrun events in the present-day county of Merseyside, of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Princes, which started on 26th March 2011 and the newest is Brimstage, which started on 3rd October 2026. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Mersey-Beat”.

The present-day / ceremonial county of Merseyside is made up of land that was previously in the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. Birkenhead and Brimstage were originally in historic Cheshire but is now in Merseyside. All other Merseyside parkrun events were in the historic county of Lancashire.

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 Merseyside parkrun events …

Below are each of the Merseyside 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.

Completing all Lancashire parkruns

There are currently 14 parkrun events in the present-day county of Lancashire, of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Preston, which started on 12th May 2012 and the newest is Worden, which started on 14th October 2023. I’m not aware of a County Completion Name for Lancashire but let me know in the comments if you have one.

The present-day / ceremonial county of Lancashire is smaller than the historic county of the same name. Several Lancashire parkrun events fall into different historic and ceremonial counties:

  • Alexandra, Bolton, Burnage, Chadderton Hall, Clarence, Fletcher Moss, Haigh Woodland, Heaton Park, Kingsway Park Urmston, Oldham, Peel, Pennington Flash, Philips Park, South Manchester, Stamford Park, Stretford, Watergrove and Worsley Woods were in historic Lancashire and are now in Greater Manchester

  • Barrow, Fell Foot, Ford and Grizedale Forest were in historic Lancashire and are now in Cumbria.

  • Crosby, Croxteth Hall, Kew Woods, Knowsley, Princes, Southport, St Helens and Sutton Manor were in historic Lancashire and are now in Merseyside.

  • Widnes was in historic Lancashire and is now in Cheshire.

  • Warrington is in Cheshire but the route cuts through a small part of Lancashire.

  • Centre Vale straddles the border of historic Lancashire and Yorkshire and has the start line in Lancashire but the course is mostly in West Yorkshire.

Cuerden Valley was a parkrun event in Lancashire but has now been permanently cancelled.

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

Completing all Cumbria parkruns

There are currently 18 parkrun events in the present-day county of Cumbria, of which I have completed 1. The first was Barrow, which started on 24th September 2011 and the newest is Grizedale Forest which started on 17th October 2026. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Done-bria”.

The present-day / ceremonial county of Cumbria replaced the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland and the Furness area of Lancashire.

  • Barrow, Fell Foot. Ford and Grizedale Forest were in historic Lancashire and are now in Cumbria.

  • Rothay Park was in historic Westmorland and is now in Cumbria.

  • All other Cumbria parkrun events were in the historic county of Cumberland.

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

Completing all Cheshire parkruns

There are currently 13 parkrun events in the present-day county of Cheshire, of which I have completed 1. The first was Congleton parkrun which started on 15th December 2012 and the newest is Alderley Park parkrun which started on 14th March 2020. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “The Cheshire Set”.

The present-day / ceremonial county of Cheshire is smaller than the historic county of the same name. Several Cheshire parkrun events fall into different historic and ceremonial counties:

  • Birkenhead and Brimstage were in historic Cheshire and is now in Merseyside.

  • Widnes was in historic Lancashire and is now in Cheshire.

  • Bramhall Park, Cheadle Hulme, Hyde, Marple, Sale Water, Woodbank and Wythenshawe were in historic Cheshire and are now in Greater Manchester.

  • Fletcher Moss was in historic Lancashire and is now in Greater Manchester but a small part of the course crosses into present-day Cheshire.

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 Cheshire parkrun events …

Below are each of the Cheshire 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.

West Midlands Region parkruns

 

The parkrun Regionnaire status used to be a major part of parkrun tourism. Changes in the parkrun website in 2019 removed the regions making it harder to track completion status. All is not lost though as here’s the complete parkrun guide to what’s in and what’s out of the counties of the West Midlands.

The West Midlands is a diverse and geographically contrasting region of the UK, situated in the western half of central England, acting as a vital transport hub and sharing a long, scenic border with Wales. The region is composed of six ceremonial counties: Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands (a heavily urbanised ceremonial county sharing the region's name, formed from land previously belonging to the three historic counties of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire).

Geographically, the West Midlands is characterised by its striking transition from industrial heartlands to rolling rural topography, most notably across the Shropshire Hills: a sweeping Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty spanning the Welsh Marches. It contains the dramatic, ancient ridge of the Malvern Hills (predominantly in Worcestershire and Herefordshire) and the sprawling, historic lowland heath of Cannock Chase. Landscapes across the region are varied, ranging from the rugged gritstone edges of the Staffordshire Moorlands to the extensive industrial canal networks of the Black Country and the lush, meandering valley of the River Severn.

parkrun event numbers per county

There are currently 51 parkrun events in the counties of the West Midlands region.

Notes and exceptions.

The West Midlands ceremonial county contains 16 parkrun events that were formerly in 3 historic counties: 7 Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

Completing all Worcestershire parkruns

There are currently 5 parkrun events in the present-day county of Worcestershire, of which I have completed 3. The first was Worcester which started on 18th June 2011 and the newest is Worcester Pitchcroft which started on 5th May 2018. I’m not aware of a County Completion Name for Worcestershire but let me know in the comments if you have one.

4 parkrun events that were formerly in the historic county of Worcestershire are now in the ceremonial county of West Midlands. These are: Cannon Hill, Cofton Park, Oaklands and Woodgate Valley Country Park.

3 parkrun events in Worcestershire have now been permanently cancelled. These are: Churchfields Farm, Hanbury Hall and Wythall.

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

Arrow Valley

  • I have not yet completed this event

  • Historic County: Worcestershire

  • Ceremonial County: Worcestershire

  • Inaugural: 14th July 2012

Churchfields Farm

  • This parkrun event has been permanently cancelled. I did not complete this event before it was closed.

  • Historic County: Worcestershire

  • Ceremonial County: Worcestershire

  • Inaugural: December 29th 2018. Final event: #41 on October 19th 2019

  • Reason for cancellation: Churchfields farm business model changed after Covid with an increase in weddings and other events which bought them more money than parkrun. The increase in numbers that this bought meant they could no longer accommodate parkrun. In addition in winter prior to the pandemic the underfoot conditions with it being on a working farm meant it had not run for much of it either

Completing all West Midlands parkruns

There are currently 17 parkrun events in the present-day county of West Midlands, of which I have completed 1. The first was Coventry which started on 6th February 2010 and the newest is Cofton Park which started on 8th August 2026. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “West Didlands”.

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

Aston Hall

  • This parkrun event has been permanently cancelled. I did not complete this event before it was closed.

  • Historic County: Warwickshire

  • Ceremonial County: West Midlands

  • Inaugural: October 14th 2023. Final event: #34 on August 24th 2024

  • Reason for cancellation: Due a lack of core team. The local football club foundation had invested heavily into the event and made commitments in the process which were then never fully fulfilled. Unfortunately, there is no nearby running club and the local community also didn’t embrace the arrival of parkrun. This meant despite lots of effort by the ambassadors and local other parkruns no core team was ever built and most runners each week were tourists being no regular volunteer base could be established.
