It was a case of ups and downs with attendances on St George’s Day across the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Whilst some venues (most notably Frickley Country) saw a large increase in attendance, others were much reduced.

60/62 events took place across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Other than Oakwell Hall, it was just Brighouse that was unable to go ahead..

Total attendance was 11229, a decrease of 121 (1.1%) compared with last week. The largest attendance was at Huddersfield (606); the smallest was at Bowling Park (33). Of the 57 events that also took place last week, 25 saw an increase in attendance and 32 were lower.

Frickley Country heavily promoted its 100th event and was rewarded with an attendance of 187. This was well up on its average post-COVID attendance of 58.7.

For only the second time since the return of parkrun last July, there was an attendance over 600 for the second week in a row.

The  attendances at Humber Bridge, Dalby Forest, Centre Vale, Sheffield Castle and Wetherby were 91, 92, 93, 94 and 95.

Over the history of parkrun in the region, out of 17181 events, there have been 2222 instances of an attendance of 73 or fewer. 6000 events have had attendances between 143-286 (inclusive). 17000 have had attendances of 659 or fewer.

Just a pair of pairs (or a brace of braces if you will) this week:

North Yorkshire Water Park and Sewerby had attendances of 170, and Goole and Millfield had 125.

The rolling weekly regional average of 10284* over the last year represents a decrease of 20.1% when compared with the previous two years (12867).

*Although the average for the last year clearly starts from the return of parkrun on 24 July 2021, the average for the two years prior to that cover the period between 1 and 3 years prior to the current date.

The main milestone in the Yorkshire and the Humber region was experienced by fewer than 6% of those that attend parkrun in the region. For everyone however, conditions were just about perfect for running.

59/62 events took place across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Other than Oakwell Hall, there was the ongoing cancellation at Brighouse and unfortunately Wetherby couldn’t go ahead either.

Total attendance was 11741, an increase of 512 (4.6%) compared with last week. The largest attendance was at Woodhouse Moor (610) – bar far their highest attendance since parkrun’s return; the smallest was at Frickley Country (44). Of the 59 events that also took place last week, 41 saw an increase in attendance, 17 were lower and one (Middleton Woods (65)) was the same

The key milestone alluded to above was at the region’s original venue. Woodhouse Moor became the first in the region to hold its 700th event.

For those that like a double, Centre Vale and Humber Bridge both had attendances of 126.

The rolling weekly regional average of 10319* over the last year represents a decrease of 19.99% when compared with the previous two years (12897).

*Although the average for the last year clearly starts from the return of parkrun on 24 July 2021, the average for the two years prior to that cover the period between 1 and 3 years prior to the current date.

The primary headline in the Yorkshire and the Humber region was the long overdue and welcome return of Oakwell Hall! Unfortunately, this didn’t mean that all available parkruns in the region took place today.

61/62 events took place across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Huddersfield was the only cancellation as Brighouse also returned after a three month break.

Total attendance was 11328, a decrease of 413 (3.5%) compared with last week. The largest attendance was at Endcliffe (614); the smallest was at Bowling Park (35). Of the 58 events that also took place last week, 22 saw an increase in attendance, 33 were lower and three (Chevin Forest (112), Concord (108) and Frickley Country (44)) were the same

This week’s arbitrary milestone was the 400th event at Peter Pan.

The attendance at Bowling Park provided the 35th ever attendance of precisely 35 at any parkrun across the region.

There were three doubles: Cliffe Castle and Middleton Woods both had attendances of 118, Barnsley and Chevin Forest had 112, and Dalby Forest and Northallerton had 92.

Of all events to have taken place across the region, there have been 8650 with an attendance of 169 or fewer and 8651 with an attendance of 170 or higher. (The median attendance is therefore likely to drop again next week.)

The rolling weekly regional average of 10343* over the last year represents a decrease of 19.6% when compared with the previous two years (12857).

*Although the average for the last year clearly starts from the return of parkrun on 24 July 2021, the average for the two years prior to that cover the period between 1 and 3 years prior to the current date.
