Record numbers for the Ballincollig 5k parkrun - Sat 12th Jan 2019

An amazing 533 people turned out for this weeks 5k parkrun in Ballincollig Regional Park, breaking the previous record of 448 which was set on the 21st of Jan 2017. That particular one was in the middle of that years Operation Transformation programme where as this year, that TV programme is just starting.

500+ seems to be well ahead of this time last year so it probably down to a growing popularity of the parkrun rather than it swelling due to the TV programme.

That figure of 533 is also the exact same figure for the peak number for the Tramore Valley Park which was back on the 23rd of June 2016.
