Completing all Oxfordshire parkruns

Oxforshire parkrun banner.JPG

There are currently 12 parkrun events in present-day Oxfordshire. The first was Abingdon which started on May 7th 2011 and the newest is University Parks which started on February 5th 2022.

Three events in present-day Oxfordshire: Harcourt Hill, Didcot and Grove Fields, were part of Historic Berkshire. Abingdon gets an honorable mention as, although it was in Historic Oxfordshire, there’s a small section by Abingdon Lock that was in Historic Berkshire.

I first completed the county on July 6th 2019 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.
