parkrun registration stats this week

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 4,335 registrations in the last week.

This takes the total number of global parkrun registrations up to 388,284. That is a growth of 1.1% since last week. At this rate of growth parkrun should break-through the 400,000 registrations mark in roughly 3 weeks time.

As far as I am aware Alice Holt parkrun (Farnham, Surrey) is the only new event starting this week.

After its first event last week, Malahide parkrun continues to be top of the charts in the number of new registrations category this week, adding 219 new registrants.

parkrun events showing notable growth this week are:

Event	Total	This week
Malahide parkrun	689	219
Nahoon Point parkrun	1417	77
Newy parkrun	1691	64
Albert parkrun, Melbourne	1475	53
Launceston parkrun	228	51

parkrun continues to show impressive growth outside the UK.

No great surprises in the "largest parkrun in the world" category this week, where it is still:

Event	Total
Bushy parkrun	20832
Glasgow parkrun	12180
Leeds parkrun	11006

And at the other end of the spectrum, but just as worthy of a mention we have:

Event	Total
Upton Court parkrun	6
Sandgate parkrun	10
Kingscliff parkrun	39
