Completing all Nottinghamshire parkruns

There are currently 13 parkrun events in the county of Nottinghamshire. The first was Colwick which started on June 25th 2011 and the newest is Wollaton Hall which started on February 8th 2020. The name for having completed all parkrun events in the county is “Get Nott’ed”

I have not yet completed any of the Nottinghamshire parkrun events.

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.

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.

Although I'd done Silverhill in 2013, I later learnt that there's a dispute over the highest point in Nottinghamshire. The hill at Silverhill is formed from the slagheap of the former colliery, whilst nearby Newtonwood Lane is natural peak of roughly the same height. As my peak-bagging friend Mark hadn't done either, we conquered the 2 on the way back south from our Peak District weekend.
