Completing all Hampshire parkruns
There are currently 23 parkrun events in present-day Hampshire of which I have done 15. The first was Basingstoke which started on July 5th 2008 and the newest is Ganger Farm which started on November 19th 2022.
The Historic County of Hampshire has a further 3 events, totaling 26. Bournemouth and Moors Valley were in historic Hampshire but are now part of present-day Dorset and are in the South-West region. Medina IOW was in Historic Hampshire but is now in the present-day county of the Isle of Wight.
Mountbatten School parkrun was active until the Covid-19 parkrun pause and is now permanently closed.
Sandhurst Memorial deserves an honorable mention as parts of the course are in Hampshire although the start and finish are in Berkshire.
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.
