Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I don't think that app does Wilson index any more. I thought they had removed the various number based challenges on a request from HQ.

Yes, the event number planner has been removed from the app IIRC.

Following their temporary 'disappearance' earlier in the week, I also expect that all event #;s will soon be removed from individual event sites to further discourage another aspect associated with touristing.

Easiest way to get an idea of current event numbers is to visit: wiki.parkrun.com

Sort columns by 'All Time events' to and see those falling in the number range you need and whether there are any convenient for you.

Actually, the WI info is still in the app.

Go to 'Profile and Challenges'
Scroll to Wilson Index (just above milestones)
click 'tap to see tracker'
Tap on any number and it will show you events that have that number as their next event number.

Well so it is. Thanks for that! 👍
For some reason I thought I remembered it as being hidden away under the 'Events' tab.

Cerrertonia the number based challenges that were removed were Fibonacci and Nelson, because they encouraged large numbers at specific individual events, whereas the Wilson numbers are (essentially) unique to each person.
