The Cambridgeshire parkrun venues

The ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire is made up of Cambridgeshire County Council and the unitary authority of Peterborough City Council.

The pins on the map mark the locations of the parkruns within the county. The green pins show the venues I have officially visited while the red pins are venues I still need to visit. The map below covers 5k events only, not junior parkruns or those not open to the public (eg prisons).
