Completing all Warwickshire parkruns

There are currently 6 parkrun events in present-day Warwickshire, of which I have not yet completed any. The first was Leamington which started on April 23rd 2011 and the newest (still operating) is Warwick Racecourse which started on September 28th 2019. I’m not aware of County Completion Name for Warwickshire but let me know in the comments if you have one.

6 parkrun events that were formerly in the historic county of Warwickshire are now in the ceremonial county of West Midlands. These are: Babbs Mill, Brueton, Coventry, Edgbaston Reservoir, Holbrooks, Sutton Park

Wolford Wood (now permanently cancelled) is sometimes listed in the South West England Region. The actual course was in Warwickshire, but it had a Moreton-in-Marsh postal address, which is in Gloucestershire.

Aston Hall, Dallas Burston Polo Club and Wolford Wood were parkrun events in Warwickshire that have been permanently cancelled.

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

All of the Warwickshire parkrun events …

Below are each of the Warwickshire 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 a 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.
