Totalling up new registrations across parkrun globally, shows that parkrun has attracted a further 3,666 registrations this week.
This takes the total number of global parkrun registrations (according to the official source page on the parkrun website) up to 395,991 (up from 392,325). That is a growth of 0.9% on last week. However, a parkrun Facebook status earlier today suggested that the figure was over 399,000, so it seems the official stats page is not 100% up to date.
It would therefore appear that parkrun should break-through the 400,000 registrations mark sometime in the next few days.
This weekend sees the addition of Torrens parkrun (Adelaide, Australia) to the parkrun family.
Three runs in and Malahide parkrun continues to be top of the charts in the number of new registrations category, this week adding yet another 137 new registrants so far. That is now four weeks in a row that Malahide parkrun has added the most new registrations.
parkrun events showing notable growth in registrations this week are:
Event | Total | This week |
Malahide parkrun | 1133 | 137 |
Newy parkrun | 1832 | 71 |
Brighton & Hove parkrun | 9941 | 51 |
Torrens parkrun | 64 | 51 |
No great surprises in the "largest parkrun in the world" category this week, where it is still:
Event | Total |
Bushy parkrun | 20912 |
Glasgow parkrun | 12288 |
Leeds parkrun | 11125 |
And at the other end of the spectrum, but just as worthy of a mention we have (including a new entry):
Event | Total |
Congleton parkrun | 13 |
Upton Court parkrun | 28 |
Kingscliff parkrun | 52 |
Where do you find these numbers? We are in our first year and I would be interested to know how many registrations we are pulling runners from each week. There is obviously a link between registrations and runners but who are the most faithful and who are the most fickle?

Hi Joe, I find them here: http://wiki.parkrun.info/index.php/Registrations_this_Week
DeleteGraves parkrun total registrants=463 new this week=6
Thanks for that. Hours of facinating study will be frittered away.
DeleteRe:'the most faithful'. Initial calculations indicate that the Time since 1st run is a vital component. As registrations accumulate, drop outs/move aways/transfers do too.
Kingscliffe 20 runners/53 registrations = 37% New
Graves 75/463 = 16.2% 8 months old
Bushy 741/20925 = 03.5%? 8 years old
Leave it with me . . . . . I may be some time!
