Footnotes
* shows where there were multiple events started on the first day for that country.
Iceland briefly had a parkrun but it has been permanently cancelled. Iceland is generally considered part of Europe but actually straddles the European and American continental plates. The parkrun event at Elliðaárdalur was on the American side of the continental divide.
Both of the original Russian parkruns are on the European, rather than Asian, part of Russia. parkrun is currently not operating in Russia
Although there is no parkrun in the Czech Republic yet, the Cieszyn parkrun course in Poland crosses the Poland/Czech border.
Akrotiri parkrun on the island of Cyprus is part of the British Overseas Territory of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. This makes it fall within the same box on the graphic as Cape Pembroke Lighthouse, Falkland Islands. It is also on a closed facility and is therefore open to authorised people only.

parkruns are free, weekly, community 5k events all around the world. I started in December 2012 and have been obsessive about it ever since. See my parkrun Collection page for details.
