Unofficial challenge

Geographical Compass

The four extremes of a country

Opens the challenge tracker on Geographical Compass.

Geographical Compass is an unofficial parkrun challenge. In a country, visit the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost and westernmost parkrun. Each country with at least four parkruns is its own compass.

0/4 extremes 0%

North is the highest latitude and south is the lowest. East and west use the smallest arc that contains that country, including across the date line.
The targets are current 5k events. A new event can move an extreme.
A compass you have already finished stays finished. The page then shows the new extremes separately.
One event can be the extreme for more than one direction. Finishing it fills each of those directions.
The compass on this page uses Australia as the example. Your tracker follows the country you have actually run in.

FAQs

How do I track this challenge for my parkrun ID?

Enter your parkrun ID on this page. Park5K will open the challenge tracker focused on Geographical Compass.

Does this page show my personal progress?

No. This page explains the challenge and shows example slots. Your personal progress is only shown on the challenge tracker after you enter your parkrun ID.

Do the target parkruns stay the same?

The four extremes follow the current event list, so a new parkrun can move one. A compass you have already finished stays finished, and the new extremes are shown separately.
