Completing all Northamptonshire parkruns

Northamptonshire Banner.JPG

There are 11 parkrun events in the Historic County of Northamptonshire, of which I have completed 5. One of these events, Market Harborough, is now in the Present-Day County of Leicestershire. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Northamp-done-shire”.

The county’s first parkrun event was Northampton, whose inaugural was on May 5th 2012. The newest event is University of Northampton which started on July 8th 2023.



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 show the route at the time that I ran it and may have changed since then.
