How many parkruns can you do in 2025?
It's possible to run 63 parkruns in 2025.
Most parkrunners have their next milestone achievement in mind, and this is no doubt one of the reasons for getting out and completing parkrun regularly. But what if you set the goal of completing as many parkruns as possible in 2025?
Maximum number of parkruns in 2025
There are typically 52 (sometimes 53) Saturdays in a year, so you may think the simple answer is 52 for 2025, but that's far too simple, because if ignores special/additional days. Each country that hosts parkrun can add an extra event on New Year's Day, and in addition choose another day on which to host an extra parkrun.
So, if you decided that in 2025 you were going to attend a parkrun every Saturday and also tour the world seeking out additional days, how many could you achieve?
All the Saturdays
You're not going to get ill, you're not going to run any Saturday morning races, and you're not going to volunteer (naughty you). There are only 52 Saturdays in 2025 (there were also 52 in 2024 and 2023, but a whopping 53 in 2022), so let's start with 52.
Running total: 52
1st January 2025, New Year's Day (multiple countries)
As mentioned, each parkrun is permitted to host an extra event on January 1st.
Back in the good old days you were able to register more than one run on New Year's Day, but sadly that little bit of fun is no longer permitted.
