Alliterative parkruns

The definition of alliterative parkruns that I've been using for my challenge on the 5k app is 'parkrun venues where the name of the venue has two or more words preceding the word parkrun, and each of those words start with the same letter'. An example of this is Clapham Common parkrun. However, the actual definition of alliterative or alliteration may be a little different, as it can also apply to non-consecutive words.

In the list below, I have included all the 5k parkrun venues that are undoubtedly alliterative, plus venues which may have an alliterative name. Where I have some doubt, I have added a question mark and you can make up your own mind as to whether these should be included.

The list below should be correct as of 1 April 2024. I have visited nine of them and, for those venues, a link to the related write-up is provided. Please let me know if you spot any I've missed.
