Completing all Buckinghamshire parkruns
There are currently 11 parkrun events in present-day Buckinghamshire. The first was Black Park which started on July 18th 2009 and the newest is Church Mead which started on April 9th 2022. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Buck'ed Up”
The Historic County of Buckinghamshire has 12 parkrun events. It includes Upton Court which is now part of present-day Berkshire.
I first completed the county on Christmas Day 2018 at Linford Wood.
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.
