World Tourist: Rules for the parkrun Challenge

What is the World Tourist parkrun challenge?

World Tourist is the ultimate country-collecting parkrun challenge. Instead of stopping at five countries for Jetsetter, the goal is to complete a parkrun in every country on the challenge's participating-country list. One qualifying finish per country is enough; extra visits are memories rather than additional points. Unlike a fixed 20-venue challenge, the target can change when parkrun opens in a new country or stops operating somewhere. That makes World Tourist an unusually ambitious, evolving goal, best followed with a tracker that clearly shows the current list of countries and which ones you've already visited.

0/22 countries 0%

A country counts once, from the first time you run there.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland count as the United Kingdom. Ireland is separate.
The list follows the current 5k directory, so a new parkrun country is added here.
