Are people here familiar with this? An amazing collection of data, updated every single week. Have a look...

I was in the statistic of barcodes being sent to new comers.

Did you do a parkrun today, Alan? I know it’s on your horizon

No, the Dunfermline Parkrun was cancelled today because of a Gala Day taking place in the park, another cancellation on Saturday 6th July because of something else taking place, on Saturday 29th June I am going to spactate and get a idea of what takes place and have a look at the course, then on Friday 5th July I will run it so I know where all the hills are on the course for my first parkrun on 13th July. 'Be prepared' is my running motto

Without you it would have been 8001 runners did their 3rd park run

Nice to be part of the stats. Also worth a read is the list of cancellations and the reasons why.

Yes! Lols! Thanks for sharing... I like the idea of turning up for a Parkrun... but finding a Sausage and Cider Festival instead!

Don’t they end up colliding and tripping each other?

Oh wow - that must be a real labour of love! Wonder how long it takes each week to put all that together?!

Stephen_UKGraduate in reply to Debston

I think it might be semi-automated from a data feed. It would be too arduous to look up each fact again every week.

Yes, that would make sense.
