The 19 largest parkrun events

19 different parkrun events have recorded record attendances over 400, yet only 1 (Bushy parkrun) has recorded an attendance over 500. And as we all know, Bushy parkrun is also the only event with a record attendance over 1000.

The 19 highest record attendances are:

Black Park41221/07/2012
Black Park41205/01/2013
Norwich41106/10/2012


So which event will be the second to set a record attendance over the magic 500 barrier. I suspect it will be one of the 18 events in the 400 to 499 bracket listed above. In all likelihood this milestone will be reached within the next month or two.

But which event will be the second to join the 500 plus club?

If I had to guess, I'd probably go for Glasgow parkrun. And I think Newy parkrun will be the first outside the UK.
