Correction: it's happened every month since Feb 2024 - Jan 2025 was the first time since COVID that all monthly records had been set in the previous 12 months (it was when the long-standing global record of 345,911 from 11 Jan 2020 finally fell).

parkrun USA saw another new record turnout (their 5th in the last 3 months). The new Brooklyn Bridge parkrun proved to be a huge draw - 536 finishers was over 10% of national total, 2nd highest ever seen at a single event, and largest inaugural US attendance by some margin. 2/2
