Event Results
Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated, it’s such an exhilarating feeling watching updates roll in while waiting for my own 24 hours to start 
Had me gnawing on the bars of my cage, ready to attack some books!! I know there are both celebrations and condolences in readathons when goals are smashed for some but life gets in the way for others. Regardless of your final numbers, I am genuinely so grateful to everyone for making time to add this event to your calendar and come together as a community. The readers of WK are the sole reason I picked up my first Japanese book, your excitement for reading is contagious and inspiring!! THANK YOU 
For those who had their eye on the Results post above, you might’ve been like me and sweated a bit over whether we would meet the numbers set by us back in Winter. I’m pleased to report that we ended up beating our time goal by over ten hours 
Here are the raw numbers from each readathon, chronologically:
| Event | Finishers [1] | Time | Pages | Charas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Summer '24 |
16 | 43hr 50min | 2574 | 56.5k |
 Fall '24 |
33 | 160hr 42min | 6426 | 405.3k |
 Winter '24 |
22 | 137hr 26min | 4632 | 252.3k |
| Spring '25 |
32 | 164hr 29min | 8204 | 161.8k |
From the numbers, we can see that this Spring Readathon was the second-most participated event, though with the highest time spent reading and the highest page count of any event so far!!
Most importantly, however, are the per-reader averages 
As you can see from the raw numbers, Winter '24 didn’t have the highest numbers in any category. However, the numbers were still so strong that it placed ahead of Fall '24 in terms of the per-reader average in time and pages.
