South-East England parkruns
The parkrun Regionnaire status used to be a major part of parkrun tourism, with South-East England being the largest region. Changes in the parkrun website in 2019 removed the regions making it harder to track completion status. All is not lost though as here’s the complete parkrun guide to what’s in and what’s out of the counties of South-East England.
As of June 2022, the total parkrun event numbers for each county are:
Berkshire: 10 parkrun events in the Present-Day county, 11 in the Historic County
Buckinghamshire, 11 parkrun events in the Present-Day county, 12 in the Historic County
Hampshire, 24 parkrun events in the Present-Day county (inc I.o.W), 26 in the Historic County
Kent, 25 parkrun events in the Present-Day county, 38 in the Historic County
Oxfordshire, 12 parkrun events in the Present-Day county, 7 in the Historic County

…giving a grand total of 116 parkrun events in the present-day counties of the South of England.

Notes and exceptions.
Numbers of event above exclude prison parkruns and permanently cancelled events.
Bournemouth and Moors Valley parkruns were part of Historic Hampshire and would have been in Historic South-East England, but are now part of Present-day Dorset, so would be in the South West England region.
Hazelwood was part of Historic Middlesex and is now part of Present-day Surrey.
Parts of Historic Surrey and Kent are now part of Greater London. See the individual pages for those counties for the list of which events are now part of Greater London.
