There are currently 10 parkrun events in present-day Wiltshire, of which I have completed 5. The first was Lydiard (formerly Swindon) which started on March 6th 2010 and the newest is Thoulstone which started on February 8th 2025. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “A Complete Bustard”.

South Tidworth, where the Tidworth parkrun takes place, was moved from Hampshire into Wiltshire in 1992, but houses there still have Hampshire on their postal addresses.

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

All of the Wiltshire parkrun events …

Below are each of the Wiltshire 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.
