I imagine that aggregate 5k parkrunners' attendance for January will set a HUGE new record for a calendar monthly total - boosted by 5 Sats in month + NY Day events + very strong numbers in southern hemisphere! #parkrun

Despite icy weather in the UK affecting the first two weekends' totals, January's average Saturday turnout is the highest seen so far, driven mostly by large attendances in the Southern Hemisphere. 2/2
