My parkrun Alphabet Challenge (updated 30 August 2026)

In-between all my races and OCR, I decided to take up the parkrun alphabet challenge. For those that don’t know what that is, its self explanatory – visit a parkrun for every letter of the alphabet.

I have lived within spitting distance of my local parkrun – Crewe parkrun completed over 100 times – I could literally get out of bed at 8.55 and get to the start line for 9am, so visiting other parkruns felt a bit of a waste. Now I have moved, I have decided to start visiting other places in-between my usual running season – just for something different and to get to experience new locations.

As I have run over 150 parkruns, I haven’t actually taken photos of all the different locations, but I will try my best from now on to get photo and video evidence of all future runs. You can visit my YouTube Playlist as well as “offical” progress via my parkrun profile
