Completing all Surrey parkruns
There are currently 12 parkrun events in present-day Surrey. The first was Banstead Woods which started on June 16th 2007 and the newest is Broadwater which started on September 18th 2021.
The Historic County of Surrey has a further 17 events, totaling 30. These 17 are now part of Greater London. Hazelwood is the interesting one having been in both Historic Surrey and Middlesex and is within the M25 but outside Greater London. Part of the Riddlesdown course, including the finish is in Surrey, although the start is in Greater London, so it’s classified as a LonDone event. Both Bethlem Royal Hospital and Crystal Palace cross the Surrey/Kent border but are mostly in Historic Kent.
I first completed the county on November 10th 2018 at Cranleigh.
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.

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.
