parkrun registrations this week...8th March 2013

There is still a little time for new registrations this week, but at the time of writing and compared to the figures in my post this time last week....

Totalling up new registrations across parkrun globally, shows that parkrun has attracted a further 5,651 registrations in a week, 474 more than last week.

This takes the total number of global parkrun registrations (according to my official source page on the parkrun website) up to 460,705 (up from 455,054). That is a growth in total registrations of over 1.2% in a week.

As far as I am aware, there are 5 new parkruns starting this weekend:
Parramatta parkrun in Australia
Brandon Country parkrun, Newent parkrun and Hackworth parkrun in the UK
Marlay parkrun in Ireland

For the third week running Marlay parkrun is at the top of the charts with the most new registrations this week.

8 different parkrun events have added 50 or more new registrants this week and they are:

Event	Total	This week
Marlay parkrun	709	239
Malahide parkrun	3336	118
Parramatta parkrun	122	68
Newy parkrun	2968	62
Delamere parkrun	238	57
South Bank parkrun	1245	57
Edinburgh parkrun	9074	55
Heaton parkrun	7899	50

No great surprises in the "largest parkrun in the world" (by total registrations) category this week, where it is still the same top 5:

Event	Total
Bushy parkrun	21734
Glasgow parkrun	12964
Leeds parkrun	11767
Brighton & Hove parkrun	10542
Wimbledon Common parkrun	10161

And at the other end of the spectrum (with the lowest number of registered parkrunrunners), but just as worthy of a mention (as these are new or future parkrun events) we have:

Event	Total
Cross Flatts parkrun	7
Maidstone parkrun	9
Mulbarton parkrun	15
Riverway parkrun	21
Hackworth parkrun	28

Three new future parkrun events appear in this list for the first time: Maidstone, Mulbarton and Riverway parkruns. Woodlands parkrun is also now listed but with no registrants so far.
