This is similar to the observation known since the 1930s that if more roads are built, the result is more traffic

If we have 2000 parkruns in the UK, there will be half a million running etc every week?

It would be interesting to see the rate of growth in parkrunners from established parkruns eg take parkruns 101-200 and 201-300 and compare runner numbers from 2015 against 2017.

From PSH's 2016 end of year newsletter, the parkrun vision is one million participants every weekend at 12,500 parkruns by 2023.

Which gives a surprisingly small average of 80 runners per event.

The limiting factor is the number of usable venues unless a huge park building scheme is underway
