The 2200 covers the number of events where, for example, a running club may have invited all its members. Across all registered events, up to 42,000 people are expected to participate during the weekend, the Nature Conservation Association informs.
– We are completely overwhelmed and happy about the great support there is, says Lars Midtiby, director of the Danish Society for Nature Conservation.

It may be related to the assembly ceiling, which means that people do not gather as they usually do, says Lars Midtiby.
